Re: [AMC-list] It's been a tiring weekend but productive I hope

Sounds like a busy weekend!

I did nothing car related. Started some hard cider two weeks ago
(first time making it), and tested it today. All the sugars are
fermented out. Started cleaning out the hot water heater room next to
my garage. It's tiny - but has enough room to start making beer. I
figure if I have a project car and a project camper in the garage, I
should have project beer next to it. Missed the big car show
yesterday, doing the honey-do list.

My fingers are crossed for your transmission, too! Hoping you get that
car on the road soon.

I almost bought a transmission jack but decided to try one more transmssion balanced on my floor jack.  It worked but if I ever handle an iron case Borg Warner I'm going to need a tranny jack.

I made a new bushing where the automatic shifter rod connects to the manual shift lever on the transmission.  The old one was coming apart due to being oil soaked for years.   I made it out of a modern shock absorber bushing and it works pretty well.   I still have to remount the driveshaft, maybe this evening or tomorrow after work, conect the exhaust and add fluid to the tranny.  It's a used tranny so I have my fingers crossed
