On some message boards that statement would need to be rephrased. ;-) Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: "Trey Jung" <treyjung@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 15:38:07 To:tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: What all do I need? I was thinking of picking up a tranny myself this week and show up Saturday with the same questions but the guy sold the tranny on Friday.... too late..... I think you might need a gasket kit and fluid plus some cider .....

Smith, about 175 miles from home, the growling transaxle that took two bottles of gear oil a thousand miles earlier, in Florida, finally gave up fourth gear. No loud event, just no connection between the engine and the rear wheels. When I push on the accelerator I just got a zizzing sound, "zizzzzz." When I downshifted into third everything worked fine. I didn't even stop, I just slowed to 50 MPH (3500-4000 RPM) and made the rest of my way home. I drove on the shoulder for a way. You never really notice all the sharp metal stuff and dead animals and broke down cars that are on the shoulder until you drive on it for a while. Eventually I realized that I was now doing "normal split bus speed" and got back on the regular slow lane. People passing me still took pictures and waved the peace sign at me. Nobody thinks anything is wrong with a Split doing 50. So, here's the question: what all gaskets and parts do I need to put in a new tranny? Remember that I have a Swing axle, not IRS and no reduction boxes. I will be at Chuck's on Friday and can get to parts houses, so what all do I need. Assume I have nothing, 'cuz I probably don't. Oh, and I know what food to bring.
