Well it happened...I should have kept my mouth shut.

I got a call from the guy with the junk yard i helped out for a while and hes shutting his doors. I toldhim i was going to come dig and grab one of the trannys he had as a spare. Mines had bearing noise this round. I thought i got a poor rebuild. Well the other night when it was like -20 here it started clicking in 5th. Then pulling in to the gym 1st clicked. well after a long night of lifting and a long time of warming up 1-2-3-5th clicked so i stopped at the gas station to grab a drink and reverse clicked leaving. 1st went from a click to a clunk and a hop. I drove home in 4th. got it to the garage and its now clicking at idle when the clutch is out. After much reading i have found that i have some bearings out that turned to possible chipped teeth.

So no biggie i picked up a tranny from that guy and cleaned it up..I will rock it for a while while i build one.

Work has been hella slow so i spent some time on my V6 calipers the other day. I have IFS hubs to throw on too. heres some pics.




The calipers are super white like the last set with brushed look fins. the edges around the brushed look is nimbus gray.

And a pic from the last time i took her out to play in the snow..Yes i washed her before putting her away..im weird.
