Thanks to Greg coming and giving me a hand on Saturday, I got the motor
out and back in all on the same day. I needed to finish up a few things
on Sunday, but had it driving by kickoff time yesterday. We swapped in a
known good 66 and later transaxle...it had a 64-65 set installed that went
bad. The 66 up Sag is definitely a clunkier shifting trans, but works
great.
We also found that the front crossmember which holds the transmission to
the front mounts had sheared two of the three bolts holding it in...and
the last one was loose. It was v ery near to dropping the front of the
powerpak on the ground. No wonder it was handling a bit funny. The
tranny going bad saved a worse fate I guess.
Since neither AJ nor Daniel were there, not a single picture of a person
standing in the engine compartment as taken! Next time.
Thanks again Greg! Drove it to work today...the 61 will sit for a bit
again.
