C Steele casteele95thbgheavy@xxxxxxxxx Mr. Blair (Jim): Mr. Blair, would you be so kind as to post this to the amc-list for me, please? I've been a reader of the list for more than a year (I have a '65 Rambler Classic 770) and have tried to post a few times but I've got "something HTML" going on with my Yahoo mail account and my postings always get bounced. (( Come to think of it, I think I have a non-html mail account but I'm using a library computer and am limited to 1/2 hour on it, not enough time to hunt down the other mail-accounts registration info. )) Anyway, this post is too important and time critical for me to get it bounced. --------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: San Diego-area Tranny Help Desperately Needed (' 65 Classic) I've been really, Really Blessed the last year or so with help from friends -- they've kept me from having to live on the street or sleep in the car -- but I need a bit of help none of them have the expertise to provide. I'm actively looking for full-time employment (after having lost a job a bit ago due to a black widow spider bite), am on unemployment (my sole income), and the tranny in my '65 Rambler Classic is giving up the ghost (slipping), thus making it more and more difficult for me to get to job interviews. Is there a transmission mechanic in or near San Diego that will do some work on the tranny for me -- in trade for some limited amount of $$ plus some ? -- so I can get to job interviews and get a job and get OUT of this mess I find myself in? In addition to what little cash I have that I can proffer, I am also willing to "trade" whatever skills or labor I have (writing? [ nationally published writer ]; copy editing?; editing/proofreading?; customer service?; work around the home or office or shop or ?; also have some familiarity with HTML; ... willing to do whatever is needed. I just have to keep this fine example of an automobile going for a couple more months till I find gainful full-time work. (Starting off, she slips in D1 and D2. If I downshift to Low, I can get going, but that's getting worse, too. I have the shop manual but am leery of adjusting any bands myself; done a lot of work on her, but never done that before, and from reading the manual it seems there are a *lot* of possible causes of the problem and I have neither the time nor the money to experiment.) Please, if you or anyone you know ... I can't tell you how much it would be appreciated. Christopher A.
