drove the buggy around the yard today.  Transmission has no (or very little) reverse.  that is sad. i guess trans shopping next week.


otherwise its awesome.  cooling, stearing, stopping, and not leaking.  

fits in the new trailer good!

no pics.  was trying to beat the sun going down and still have some driving time.

looking into getting the trans rebuilt or getting a new one from summit

Did I understand you correctly in our text message? U need to pull motor and trans to replace trans. so what happens if you fry a trans @ an event?

[smichaelR22]

that would be a day ender.

:shock:damn, no good i\'ve been waiting for updates... bummer on the tranny, maybe you should have cut of the lower portion of the frame to get it through the door, instead of the top. then used quick connects (ford cab style) thus just, meh mental design(my own) fail. good luck getting the tranny fixed/replaced lol...

ps how bout some pics of that fancy trailer?

[smichaelR22]

a few clicks and a new trans with some other goodies is on its way from summit.

made some calls around for local rebuild, and the numbers just werent working out- so pulled the trigger and a little better built trans rated for 450Hp.

got some pics today.  had to roll out the buggy to do some work on the trailer and block the tires.

shaft pulled to go to fleetpride and make a little shorter.

[smichaelR22]

Buggy looks good, smike!  And the lights in the trailer make me jealous... :think:

i ordered the trans yesterday at lunchtime, its sitting at a dock in rochester in Emerson st today for me to pick up..   summit is CRAZY

gotta love summit, they are probably the best.

I have been buying parts from them since 1990, I was rebuilding a 79 1/2ton chevy. Their customer service was awesome then and is even better now.
