Time for more Cincy hype...
Well ! It looks like everything is normal.Screwed up.I just got back from a
700 + mile shake down cruise over the weekend.And now Rose is in the shop
with the transmission laying on the floor.She is waiting for a new
crankshaft seal.I screwed up the old one when I installed it about a year
ago.The Sham! The sham!Istill don't know how I managed to fold the lip on
the crank seal.But I evidently did.I think while the trans is out I'm going
to go ahead and dissemble the trans and do a inspection and replace syncros
and bearings as nec.
I hope to have her back on the Road and cruise to a few VW shows in Texas
before coming to Cincy.Hopfully I won't shoot myself in the foot before
then.
I'm still planning a little BBQ to go with the suds.
