How in the HELL is it possible, that guy who can do something like that, is

Maybe not so funny....... haven't we all had a vehicle, back in the day,
that required a .... 'unique'..... starting procedure?

Well sis....... A lot of the answer rests with 'She who must not be named.'
or as you refer to her .... 'That Woman'.

10-4 But, I thought you were working on something else. Which I
find humming our nation anthem does wonders. :-)

Hi Jim,
The last guy that told of not being able to get it in gear from the
middle of an intersection had a collar break of gear where the synchro
block rides: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/nv3550.jpg

Yes that was a common thing to have the lever slip into the neutral
position while the gear was still in reverse or second. But the tower
top just unscrewed and we would put it back in the gear it was left in:

No, but it is a good one.... or it could be a pain in the butt to line
up 4 pins instead of the 2 stock ones when the engine and tranny are
tipped strange....
