Well, last week was a bust because of weather so today ended up being the first of these local shows and it was a perfect day for it. I didn’t take hardly any individual pictures but below is the best I could do of the genera area. Doesn’t do it justice at all.
Wasn’t without its issues though. My 4 speed shifter is an aftermarket B&M. I don’t know much about it other than it came with my transmission when I bought it. I swapped it in place if my factory one which was getting loose. This was much tighter but it seems to be getting more loose as time goes on. It also does the “cool” thing where when I shift from 1st into reverse it actually stays in first and goes into reverse simultaneously and the shifter gets bound up. Well, today as my wife and I were trying to park at the show I was sitting uphill when I made the 1st to reverse shift and, yep, got stuck in both gears, rolled backward slightly (think of a car in park on a hill and taking your foot off the brake) and we were stuck. I ended up shutting the car off and having her pull back on the shifter while I rocked the car back and forth. That actually worked but then I discovered I no longer had reverse. Luckily that ended up being because somehow after getting the trans out of reverse the cotter pin must have broken or come out or something cause the linkage had just come apart.
I was BARELY able to get my phone under far enough and used my smart watch to look around with my phones camera. Once I discovered it was the linkage I was able to use a small key ring off of my keys in place of the cotter pin temporarily. Worked like a charm and we had a nice time at the show.
