Well, looks like the universe is conspiring to make me rebuild my transmission. Clark's is our of rebuilds and cores so would need mine. Corvair ranch has no good used that they would trust to sell me. Gonna be an enlightening weekend.

You'll get the tranny licked soon.

Wait that sounds wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Wish me luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Are you sure you don't want to drag it over to the new place first?

Bud, I dont see how. I would love to work on it here, but the parking in back is tight and getting it on the parking area would be a feat in and of itself.

The folks at the corvair forum pointed me to California Corvair and I just scored a rebuilt transmission for less than the competition and it will ship tomorrow FedEx. Next week I hope to have this all resolved.

Went over to the old house tonight and with four bolts removed the transmission came right off. It is pretty easy to do, actually. And now, I wait for the rebuilt one. It should only take about ~1hr to get the new one in and running. Fingers crossed.

Aaaaaaand, its back on the road. What happened to the other tranz? I forgot to put the governor drive gear on the diff so it would never up shift and likely burnt the damn thing out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It now has all gears and can cruise at 65 and 2700RPM all day (so far).

The first trip today was to the gas station. The second, I loaded it up and hauled stuff to the new house. All of this fit, and even some not pictured.

Great work!

Oh, and some Norsemen want to stop by later to compose an epic saga about your restoration.

You need to do a video of the driving so we can see how it drives and shifts.

I look forward to seeing it in person next weekend.

And then helping to fix what broke on it.

And then possibly towing it to PA.

Right.

Which means you'll have to ride with him.

Trapped in the cab of a pick-up truck.

Dave.

With his A.D.D.

And O.C.D.
