i talked to chuck at flp this morning, he is going ut build another one and send it out, told me it would be about a week, thats prety fast and not having to send him this one first will save me alot of hastle. he did't really want to speculate on what may have caused the problem but he did say he has seen 3 bad 2nd gear bands in the last 2 years and that i may have got a bad one, i don't really know what he was talking about but it seems clear he is going to do whatever it takes to get me back on the road quickly.

no tranny yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> , i have not been posting about it because some people around here seem to take it kind of personal but since you asked. i was givin the impresion i would have a replacement about the 20th, it didn't show so i called, then i was given the impresion i would see it on the 30th, it didn't show. i just sent them an email to get a new ETA but i would bet it hasn't left their shop yet. i hope i am wrong.
i was going to do the dyno thing, i even called and got some prices but i would really like to have a tranny that works so i can get some before and after ET. i may never get to the dyno, it seems like there is always some part i want to wait for.

Good deal!
With you pouring power to it I will pray for it. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
