So I had this damn leak at the tranny. After days of doing the gasket over and 
over, this morning I decide to actually INSPECT it. One of the bolt holes was 
bent so that the plate would not lay flush. Bolt...thick washers...thick iron 
stock with hole in it... big nut...air wrench...BRRRRRAAPP! take all that 
out...gasket...form-a-gasket...tighten all six nuts...boot back on...pump in 
gear lube.........NO LEAK!
 
YEA!!! Make sure all the shifter linkage with new bushings is greased and 
tight...lower the lift...bolt down the shifter...get in...fire Murray up...good 
strong start...put it in reverse...good solid shifter feel...let out the 
clutch...the whole bus kinda shutters...no go... get out walk around, no 
chocks...get in ...start...reverse...shutter, no go. (friggin' tranny is no 
good, grumble grumble)...wait...sound of lightning through cerebelum...get 
out...raise the lift...TAKE OUT THE BOTTLE JACK THAT IS HOLDING THE AXLE TUBE 
UP AND THE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND...IDIOT...lower the 
lift...start...reverse...BACK OUT of the garage...drive around the loop! 
 
The tranny is like buttah, I have more throttle than I have ever had, brakes, 
YEA YEA YEA!!!
 
For the first time since the trip of a lifetime, Murray is on the road.
 
I am going to go drink now.
