Thought I broke the tranny!

I had a funny incident yesterday, I pulled up to a stoplight & put the Steeda TriAx into neutral as usual...but when I went to take off... the shifter felt all loose & floppy & I couldn't get into any gear! Whoa! panicsville for a moment but after waiting through one full light I got it into second gear The gear shift was all cocked & jammed up to the dash though & seemed locked up. I left it in second all the way home, & worried about it all night.

This morning I pulled the boot off & found the handle bolts (2) had loosened & one had fallen out! Whew! A one minute fix, what a relief...all tight now & will be locktited soon. Back to having fun! It had me going for a bit, pricing out new trannies etc on the internet.

Yikes! That would be very scary! Glad it wasn't anything serious, what do you think caused them to come loose?

I'm glad to Sally...& yes it is fun to turn heads as you go by...just this morning a guy in a big Dodge Ram hung halfway out of his truck to watch me pull alongside at the redlight, gave me a thumbs up, thought it was a real Shelby GT350!!! (in a 94??) Hehe...maybe I'll put a Shelby window banner on & GT350 rocker panel stripes, then we'll see what happens.

Can you imagine what reactions a real Roush would cause tooling around here??? LOL...might be a few accidents! We're not used to exotic cars here much, although there IS a new silver Saleen but it looks so plain almost like a stocker that no one seems to care or recognize it much according to the owner.
