What did I break? 6 speed manual = gearbox full of neutral

Is no one going to point out the GORGEOUS FUCKING GARAGE OP has?!?!? Mine will be like that soon with a 2 post lift in it.

 

Oh yeah. Lol. Absolutely!

 

Funny you should mention it. (also, now that you mentioned it, you have to post garage pics too)

My life has the strangest timing some times.

Garage was built a little over 2 years ago, I had planned on a lift from the word go.
One of those things I never got around to (because poor and other cool shit to buy). Have managed to get along just fine without one.
Until this week.
So I pay someone to do my clutch because I am too old/lazy/bad shoulder to hump a transmission on my back on a truck that is a PITA to get high enough in the air to get it out from under (4x4s are so much easier in that regard).

I had postponed a client who called right after my truck blew up (phone rang right as I was jacking my truck up to inspect it), I reached back out to him today to schedule him and he was asking about what broke on my truck (older guy, old school car guy).

He asked if I had a shop do it or if I did the work myself, I told him I sent it to a shop due the lack of a lift.
His response "Oh, I wish I had known you were looking for one, my 4 post has been in the way ever since I sold my last hotrod and I want to get rid of it. Take a look at it while you are here and make me an offer, I will probably not say no".

Going to look at it tomorrow.

Here is the shitbox habitat in all its glory (don't mind the hanger queen Buick/shelf) and the mess in the back. I was moving crap around to clean the floor. It is also before I used proper offroad truck guy technique to hang the new shop tv (last pic)

 

Dude..how big is that garage? And I can imagine the size of your house..wow

 

Garage is 1,400sqft

House is...........1,300sqft

Priorities

 

Ain't nothing wrong with that. I can't even get my truck in my garage, door is too low. Old houses are fun

 

I feel ya, been there, done that.
Garage door at the old house had a dent in it from my roof rack.
And this house had a none car garage when we bought it. Had all my tools in a shipping container and my trucks outside getting eaten by rats for abt 6 years while we got our stuff together enough to build the garage.

 

Any attempt to raise the height of it will mean I forfeit my loft which is a lot of good storage space. Trade off, I suppose. Maybe when I move out of this area I'll be a little more picky, but in 2004 I needed a place to live and not get sucked back into the rent thing

 

Hats off to the man with a garage that has a garage.

Those bikes take me back to my BMX days.

 

Fuck yeah

 

Awesome haha
