Am i the only one who kept replaying the Frankenstein clip like 10 times before watching the car clip?

I did it the other way around. I listened to the Young Frankenstein clip once and the engine clip about ten times.

Young Frankenstein was a great movie, though. True Mel B Classic.

Updated the emblem on the back.

Attached Image

Thanks to Mike Mueller for the 4.0 emblem. It completes it for me.

As of about an hour ago, Igor has been run through the Texas Vehicle Safety Inspection process and passed. He now has 5.5 miles on the trip odometer.

I have an oil leak and a check engine light to resolve. But even if they don't get resolved, he will be on the trailer headed out on Wednesday morning.

More pictures and videos to follow when I get them off Betty's phone.

No. I have spent my life in bio sciences, and i can tell you first hand that Young Frankenstein tells the story with accuracy and courage. Many times have i heard the “it’s alive chant” Also, i use it in lectures to professional students from a range of disciplines. With that mouthful, congratulations on the start up. Hold onto your hat for teener fest.

Okteenerfest was a blast on the drives. Seems like I could run out of first gear before I could blink. The car ran great for the whole thing.

The bad news is I lost all the gears in the trans. The shifter moves the shaft on the transmission, but nothing is happening inside. I got a whole box full of neutrals.

So tomorrow I fly to Charlotte, and Sat morning I get driven over to Boone, NC to pick up the tow vehicle. It got a 4k transmission replacement. Then I go back to Charlotte to pick up the trailer, then drive home. Long 2 days of driving.

Next weekend I will be looking into the trans failure. I am fairly sure it is the shift mechanism rather than the syncros or gears.

Igor certainly sounded scary big when you fired it up a Okteenerfest!

Fingers crossed that it’s a relatively simple repair.

What were you doing when you broke it ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Shifting from third to fourth on an entrance ramp. I wasn't even accelerating hard.

I think it's in the shift mechanism inside the trans, but I won't know until I open it up.

when shifted can you still feel the shift gates or does the shifter move in any direction at anytime ?

The input shaft on the trans moves with the cables, but it feels like nothing is hooked to it internally.

I agree completely - but it was Super Traps or the car didn't go on the trip. There were a lot of, I'll say... 'expedient liberties' taken to get the car to Okteenerfest. A genuine exhaust system is in the future game plan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Was the clutch working when it failed or were you matching revs to gears (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Did that make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

They were separate events from my understanding. Clutch failed, he was going to make the trip back home driving without a clutch (matching revs), then the transmission failed at a later point.

Clay's on the plane right now to Charlotte NC, maybe he'll clarify if he checks World later...
