aaah poor tranny :(

[Hackmeister]

after sunday's wheeling shitshow where I lost reverse, i finally got around to draining to transmission to see what was in store. look what i found on the drain plug, in addition to lots of other metal shards floating around as well:

 

[billyjp2]

nice, i pulled my 3rd member to find much of the same

 

[thatguy86]

did you ruin your gears?

 

[mjma]

Ah, reverse is over-rated!!

3rd members....kinda important.

that's yummy. i can't wait to see what mine looks like when i take it apart. (it makes grindy noises, right marty? )

 

[Hackmeister]

looks pretty ruined to me. alan you still have that tranny? i'm calling dibs on it before someone else grabs it. i'm picking up a truck next week to get around/use as a parts getter so sometime next weekend i'll come and pick it up

kyle are you buyin a d44 with a ected? or are you biulding a 44 with one?

 

[Hackmeister]

i've got one in my basment. all i have to do is actually screw around with the brakes enough to get hte drums to fit properly, bend up some lines, find the proper size ubolts, find a breather, and bolt that shit up!

 

[asp]

so you've been diddling yourself on that 44 over 4 hours work? i should slap you.

 

[Hackmeister]

i did break my shoulder so that put me out 2 months. its just now getting strong enough to wrench again

Funny, my xj is what I use as my parts getter and my pickup is what I wheel with. Did I get something backwards?

well the pickup i'm getting is IFS, so i'm not going to wheel it. that and i've spent wayy too much money and time on it to start from scratch again

Kyle, when you swap in the new rear axle, don't hook up the ebrake!

 

[Hackmeister]

hahaha marty

its just instinct to use the ebrake whenever its running and i have to get out while its running. i do drive in the city and i dont have one of them fancy automatic transmissions like you guys do

 

[mjma]

you should get an automajic, they are all the rage!

I know manuals like to puke....but do they like to puke on gay guys???

 

[5spd_xj]

The auto is the one more likely to puke, got that nice tranny pan just waiting to get a nice hole punched in it.

 

[billyjp2]

i wouldnt say that one tranny is worse than the other in terms of strength...

i just like using my left foot
