            So this last weekend I traveled ~300 miles from Mid Oregon up to Seattle to do a photo shoot with the car. It only likes to do about 50mph so needless to say, it was a long trip up. The shoot turned out great and had a good time in Seattle. Here's a teaser pic from the shoot.



            The next morning I went to start the long journey back home and as I tried to reverse out of the parking spot I was in I heard a loud bang from the transmission. I figured it just popped out of gear but it then began making AWFUL grinding noises in neutral 1st and 2nd anytime I would let the clutch out. SOOOO I made some phone calls and convinced my mother to drive 5 hours to come pick me up with a flatbed.
            Trailer Queen...


            Today I dropped the transmission hoping that something in the clutch (throwout bearing etc.) was what had went. But when I got the transmission out and looked inside this is what I found...



            So now I get to try and track down a transmission for a fairly rare ~50 year old car.

                            Well the m41 4-speed trannys w/ OD are a little more common so I might try and track down one of those and make it work.
