1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

was driving my brother round in the slug over the weekend and didnt put it all the way into first before giving it gas at a red light. Super loud THUD and it spit it out of gear.


Got clowned fuckin hard but this meme resonates too well

 

Lol

Did you catch that Reel I posted the other day? Probably my favorite one yet.

 

I used to do that all the time before I changed to redline MT90

 

my plan is to do that and the shifter bushing before it cools off this winter. nearly 45 k miles ive put on her

 

@Wulf and thanks for the reassurance on that thud, legit only the second time ive ever done that

 

My r150 sometimes pops out of first if its super cold, my w59 did it sometimes too, i just hold it if im gonna take off in the freezing cold hard

 

Sequoia master conversion kit (not mine) $150:

I also have one with a brake booster.

 

the thud was what concerned me the most. Wasnt a grind but man that thing BOOMED haha

 

it can scare the shit out of you for sure... after a while you're just like "damn, I missed 1st again?"

 

Thats normal when you load up a drivetrain with all the force needed to launch and then it pops out of gear and suddenly its all released on both sides. Doesn't hurt anything

 

thank you both, helping cure my ignorance with this shit box once post at a time

 

Wut

 

I'm tempted to throw in the new caster bushings and take the truck for an alignment to see what they say about the TREs and drag link.

 

@Sperrunner @JasonLee

I didn't realize I ordered a 25T cassette for my bike. Seems like the 28-32T Shimano or SRAM 8 speed cassettes are on backorder.

I guess it'll do for now

 

That's like the temp at sunset for the desert dudes

 

It’s hot compared to the office ac

 

I see memes about people in offices complaining about the heat and construction guys being like yeah... it's totally true though. I never heard anyone complain about the heat when I was in construction nearly as much as in a school that's air conditioned.

 

Definitely, if you start in it early in the day you sort of acclimate through the day
