Two thumbs up for...

viking

Well-known member
The fella that helped me the last two day's!!

After i fixed the electrical problems...i found some
tranny problems, the car wouldnt move when in gear.
so 383Duster provided me (cheap!) with a new tranny
+converter.

so i picked up the tranny ,pulled the old one...dropped
the new one in and .....wtf???? same prolem..car wont
move when in gear.

so i call duster and tell him what happend, he said...dropp everything, tommorow after work ill come over and take
a look( he lives 1 1/2 hour drive away from me...thats
purty far for Dutch standards)

so duster arrives, we chat a bit and drank a few,
and take a look at the car, i said try it for yerself
duster get in the car put it in gear and nuttin..

while i stand a side i heard a buzzing sound coming
from the rearaxle (same sound i heard with my old tranny)
so i look under the car and see the proppeller shaft spinning and the wheels dont move!
Forking chips!!!

problem found...the new axle shafts are to short for the
suregrip!

so duster made some call's ordered two little pins that go in the sure-grip, and we're done for that day.

today i picked up the pin's... duster arrives...drank a few..
duster brought my old axle shafts with him dropped the shaft's/carrier.. put in the pins, assembled everything
and...TESTDRIVE!!!!!!! [smilie=e:

after that we hooked up the kickdown cable....
another testdrive WOOOW!!!!!!
sumbichmotherforkers this baby runs very strong
firm shift, firm kickdown....my pants are still sticky!!!

so after all this... a salute to you 383Duster !!!!!!
