My latest charge to cannibalize felt kinda heavy. I figured it was full of oil, no big deal. Couldnt remove the plugs so I went for the shift console. No joy there as I couldnt shift the shifter into neutral...at all....even with a huge hammer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Soo, I pull the tail cone off....well it took a while as it was on there tight. And what I found is not for the faint of heart. See below. I am good, but not that good. Attached thumbnail(s) |

And the one eared tail cone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It actually looked decent on the outside.

Man you get all the nice ones. I took 5 apart this week and the worst one was run low on fluid. It smelled great.
