<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">After driving my 100 from MD to Tahoe for Open Roads 2002 I continued on to the PCH to drive down to LA to see family before heading home. Some place around Lompoc 2nd gear broke and I realized it was going to be a long trip back east with only 1st and 3rd. I called Smitty and fortunately he had both a kit and a freshly overhauled Toyota W58 on hand. He lent me the use of his lift, tools and knowledge and two days later I drove out with an operative 5-speed transmission which got me back to MD. Smitty was a wonderful guy, always willing to help.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br /></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt</div></div><br /><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Oct 18, 2025 at 9:41 PM Ray Juncal via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br /></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div></div>
