Santa still hasn't brought me the last little bits the 7 needs yet.

 

Ill be there count me in!

 

is there going to be a cruise?

 

Where to?

 

I shared the map a month or two ago. Here it is again. Those plotted were ones who shared their ZIPs with me. I made an attempt to contact anyone who had posted on a meet thread within the last few years. If I missed you and you'd like to be included just let me know.

I'll try to make this meet. I finally got all my transmission bearings ordered and expect to have this thing together before Saturday. I've had issues with the transmission since I've owned the car...sloppy shifter, misaligned gates during shifting, difficulty getting into 1st gear, clutch hydraulics, etc. All internals have been washed and scrubbed clean! Hopefully this full trans rebuild helps smooth things out!

 

How difficult is that to do? My FC has a whining input bearing, I think (whines in every gear but 4th.) I'd like to rebuild it, but transmissions are one of the few things I fear on a car...

 

I had a buddys shop with power tools and a good parts washer at my disposal, but pretty much just followed the FSM and Haynes. We took our time and kept everything together and in order of removal...kind of like a big puzzle. I'll post up pics when I get them downloaded from my phone.

 

Well, I have another one that's supposedly good I could put in, so I guess I could just dive in and give it a whirl. I have an FB trans with the same issue, only worse.
Almost finished building my storage shed, so I should actually have space in the garage to work on stuff like this soon.

 

Headed that way when I'm finishes with dinner

 

Headed that way after this icy hot kicks in! Lol!

 

In the MSM, fb needs an oil change and an inspection.

 

Whelp, I see AJ's Miata, I think, but no AJ .

 

Eta 20 mins

 

Well another fun meet, great seeing some new people.
Can't wait for it to warm up.

 

Found AJ, then several more turned up. Chilly, but no wind at least.
I enjoyed it despite the cold. Must remember to bring a bunch of hot chocolate or something next time...

 

Damn, saw this too late.

 

No prob; come next month. It's always the first Saturday, and so far, it's the same place and time, though the place may move around eventually. Bring hot chocolate of coffee if it's cold...
