Pulled the trans out tonight... found that it has a Centerforce clutch in it. He told me it had one of the big name clutches in it, but couldn't remember which. It also has the upgraded steel throw out bearing retainer. Still can't believe Borg Warner used a damn all aluminum piece from the factory. By the way... this trans jack I got from HF worked out slick!

EDIT: I'm going to try the oven cleaner method on this motor and trans.

Is that bearing retainer cracked or scratched?

I used the oven cleaner method on the intake manifold for the Highboy and it worked pretty good.

Too damn many numb nuts' running around Utah right now. We are going the wrong way in COVID numbers. Now this:

Say what you want about masks. I have been wearing a mask since March 16th. I know people who were told by medical professionals that wearing a mask prevented them from getting it after needing to be tested. One person has been in close contact with SIX people that tested positive the day before the symptoms arrived. Also, this was not all at once - this is 5 separate occasions. I'm a firm believer... mask up my friends!

I've social distanced since long before it was expected. That said, when my sister went in to the nursing home she couldn't have visitors for 2 weeks and was isolated until they knew she was clear. They're losing a person a week. But, in that 2 week isolation they did away with visitors altogether. A friend of mine's sister passed away last week from cancer and they took her out of the hospital and brought her home because no one could go see her in the hospital before she passed. Regardless of what Trump says, this isn't going away because he says it is. I never realized how fond I was\am of competent leadership.

We were sustaining a 200 or less per day count until this idiot governor said "we are close to going to green". After that, masks were gone at the stores. If I go to Walmart, about 10% of people are wearing them. And those that are wearing them, probably 25% of them are wearing them wrong, or pull the mask down to talk.

Huntsman 2020!
