I agree 100%. After a lot of thinking, it had to be what you were talking about. The trans will be out tonite. Made a call and a buddy took me to meet a guy today that has been doing transmissions since he was old enough to work. Nice lil shop, clean as a whistle. 200 total to swap to a new case. Talked to him about upgrades in clutches, and other parts. He explained a lot of cool stuff. But 200 is much better for me right now rather than 1100 for totally upgraded with reverse shift pattern. Just can't do that right now. Wish I could. Anyways he said it would be ready bu this weekend. So that's the plan. Would like to hard mount but I know for a fact my "pothead crack head fabbed ****" worked just fine before the motor mount bolt pulled through the bottom weak ass washer. .. About 20+ trips and  a **** ton of drive time prove that .. I don't care for the "biscut" type motor mounts , if anyone has link to some good motor mounts that would be awesome. By the time I get these kind tight it seems The metal pieces are squeezing together. Anyhow I will be at STL for the ride. U can bet on it.  And you were off one reefer break señior John.  :smoke:
