      Replaced tha a/c-thermactor belt yesterday. It looks perfectly fine, but after the shenannigans @ SF I thought it might be a good idea.

      Swapping in the TransGo modified shift gov. Their tech sppt guys are awsome!

        Installed the hi rev shift governor Sunday. No tach, but the butt meter says good...

          Cool, so the problem all along was the governator? Wonder what exactly had gone bad in there.

          Didn't you tell me you had pulled that unit out of a car that was parked for a non-shifting trans? Might be worth stabbing the stock shift governor in that just to see if the trans comes back to life.

            Turned out there was dirt in the tiny valve that lives in the center of Arnold. TransGo replaced it no charge & covered the return shipping as well.

            Yeah, the blue wagon (as yet unnamed) is probably going to be ok. We are slowly working on the 5.0 LX for my son to drive. After that it will be a matter of cleaning 5 years of accumulated crap out of & from under the car. Then reassy the tranny, reinstall, reassy the exhaust, & procure a lead acid voltage storage device.

              Picked up a "new" axel @ the yard today, now redoing a window motor. Also got some friction modifier. Will do the axel tomorrow.

                  So, a seal & wheel brg have now failed... luckily the brg took out the axle that I was replacing anyway.

                      Yeah, I thought about that, I don't usually need much of an excuse to buy a new tool.

                      Fundage is limited @ this juncture....

                      Took longer to go to Pep Boys & borrow it than it took to remove them...

                      I don't have an installer though.....

                        Found a piece of some long forgotten thing next to my press that "might" work, maybe I should stop for now before I create an irreversable situation w/my new brgs....

                          You can drive them in with a suitable size hunk of pipe and a hammer if needed. Big sockets work too, if you've got one the right size. For removing them, I've seen them driven out from the opposite side using a pipe through the whole axle housing. Carrier needs to come out for that though.

                            I couldn't find anything laying around in the garage. I will try to scrounge something afterwork. It has to be back together & running tonight.
