Well...Transmission is done...

Post by Rocky Leitch »

The transmission case broke, Damn It.
So, we've been collecting parts for a T-5. I figured at 49yrs. old I'm going to learn how to finally drive
manual. Who says beautiful ol' lady can't learn new tricks :lol: The ultimate trick is to get 20psi at my
beck and call. Love it :D We'll keep you posted. We are doing this while finding a new place to live.
Man...when it rains it pours out here in the Northwest! So my training wheels for said transition is Rowdy :D
For those of you who need some gentle mind nudging, Rowdy is a '73 Capri with a 300hp V8 and T-5.
Me likey... Here's a picture of my training wheels...
