San Antonio

Sounds like fun
I realized that clutch shop that burned me got me again. They didn't install the shim with the slave so it's not fully disengaging the clutch. It's gotten bad lately, very difficult to get in gear, even grinding second and third while rolling with my foot to the floor. So I get to deal with that again... Yaaaaay.
I've just been living on the bike lately. Can't find the motivation or dedicate time to dropping the trans, crawl box, and xfer case for a... What like an 8th time? Think I can adjust it at the pedal? I haven't really looked.

 

PURTY good! Fixed the greenhouse drips and misters. Trouble shot the battery again, and it seemed to like being reconditioned a d charged. Held its bolts on a hot restart with all accessories on. Only test left will be a longer drive to see if I am really getting charged. Bolts say so, but I can't check current. Fix in to hop in the pool, and scrape paint blobs.
You still working on your training book?

 

Sounds like you're staying pretty busy.
Oh yeah, it'll be a while before I finish all the lessons. I'll be surprised if I get it all done before Christmas.

 

Well, there's a Christmas present for ya!

Yeah, stay busy, that's the thing. Past month it's been the stereo, pool deck fix, pump and motor and plumbing replace, replace a walkway, and then epoxy the pool coping! The battery thing us just to keep me on my toes i guess. Trying to start a squirrel project tomorrow.

 

VOLTS, VOLTS, VOLTS DAMMIT!I

 

Dammit sargent clutch strikes again, that really is disappointing. Freaking yuge job to say the least. I would definitely try adjusting the pedal at the master cylinder near the clutch pedal in the cab, but i dont think that's going to help unfortunately.. Sounds like the spacing is off like you said, but my fingers are crossed it doesnt come to that! Shouldnt take long to make the clutch pedal adjustment though so you'll know pretty quick

Unfortunately i think this is the price we pay for having a manual trans and modifying things. Seems like there are more moving parts and once you start changing things it opens a can of worms. I know your pain on this all too well my friend

Keep us posted on what happens!

 

Hi y'all,

Anyone have any idea how much this Heileman Brewing Company Promo for their "Special Export Beer" would be worth?

 

yeah I would say you’re correct. Once I was under there replacing some of the trans fluid it was barely even creating a drop. Stays distributed and nothing I’ve ever noticed drip wise.

man my fluid was bad and it was shifting funny in the higher gears at highway speeds. I have to at least try to gradually drain and refill with better lubrication.

I didn’t notice hardly any shavings fortunately on the first 3 quarts today. I know you shouldn’t flush and don’t plan on it but I have to cycle it some. Or I’m going to have a rebuild in the next 75k.

NOW THAT is genius. I’m always so paranoid I’m going to burn myself getting to that fill plug.

 

That one is different, looks cool

 

A beer? Six-pack?

 

If it rotates like it should, they been $90 to $100 at some auctions. Here's one.
