[Spridgets] Removing lump on 74 midget

[crusaderchuck55 at aol.com]

I thought the retaining cable came along in the 1500 Midgets.  I remember removing Larry's cable during the 5 speed installation.   I did not realize it's a last year of the A series cars item too.My bad!

It needs to be removed :-)On Sun, Aug 16, 2020, 5:11 PM crusaderchuck55--- via Spridgets <spridgets at autox.team.net> wrote:








    I'm a lot confused.  If the 2 botyom bolts fell out , ok 2 less to remove.  The "strap" you mention ?   That confuses me.   What is the strap supposed to attach to or do?   As long as the 4 trans mount bolts are out , shifter removed and the speedometer cable detached , and the slave cylinder , the transmission should slide out dumping a bunch of its lubricant on its way out.   ( do drain it first!)  You did unbolt the braided ground cable that attaches to the bottom of the right frame rail and the lower slave cylinder bolt?  Just asking...ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------<

I removed the 2 bolts in either side of the tunnel. The two bolts that normally come in from the bottom of the car through the bracket are not there neither is the bracket. However when I look through the peep hole at the tale end Of the trans I can see a metal strap bolted to the trans mounting bracket. Does this need to be removed? It’s been 10 years since I pulled the lump.
