[Spridgets] I hate it when this happens...

[Lester Ewing]

NOOOO!!!!!

You have challenged the gods!  “Shifts and runs fine?”  you might as well say it’s perfect and needs no work!  The engine will likely fall out tonight while you sleep.  Quickly, sacrifice some “wheel chocks” to the gods to see if that stays their anger!

Le… uhh..  anonymouse

The trans shifts just fine, but has a dodgy 2nd gear synchro.  I'm gonna keep driving it.  It is the rolling wreck after all.  :-)
