  • Knowledge is power, even if it is something simple. And what better way to learn, learn from a pro! I had Friday off so I took a road trip with my dad to see a friend and probably one of the best transmission gurus on the planet. Yep, I headed to ​⁠‪@coperacingtrans‬ in Lowell, IN. John helped me build the C6 transmission in my 1968 Ford Thunderbird and also went through my Powerglide I use in my nostalgia front engine dragster. You are probably wondering what I am up to now. Quite simple really, I want to adjust the rooster comb inside my Powerglide so u can use an electric shift solenoid to go from 1st to 2nd gear without taking my hands off the batwing. Not only did he help me out with this adjustment, he helped me fix another small problem we found. It was quite an awesome day visiting with John and as usual we did one of my favorite things to do, going out to eat with John, we have a taste for Chicago style food. H didn’t disappoint, we went to Bozos Hot dogs and it was amazing! Your help and hospitality is much appreciated John! One more item this off season crossed off the list for 2 Hacks Garage!

    Now you know why the shifter was "catchy" on Jimmy at Sikeston. Good eye!

    I'm with you, the only thing I know about transmissions is knowing when they are not working right, and how to take them out when they are not.

    Here is something weird but true. A cadaver table ( from a morgue) works great as a transmission service table. You may be able to find one at auction.

      i can see that, actually pretty darn good idea!

    " my power glide won't go into third " that 's funny.

    This may sound like a dump question, but ; Can you change the gear ratio's on a powerglide ? Something that will work good on an 1/8 mile ?

    • @2HacksGarage
      @2HacksGarage  Місяць тому +2

      you can, but for this one, it would be a bit pricey
