I've got some grease splatter from my driveshaft on the transmission side. I will come by and see if you can check it out and let me know what I should do. No noise or vibration and I have no idea how long its been happening. I'm assuming a few years from the looks of it.

I got off of my ass today and did the rear wheel bearing TSB. As it turns out, it's a lot easier than I thought it would be for a 5'5" guy in his mid-70's.

So, while I'm no longer on the list for work, I would like to thank you for all of your good efforts on behalf of the group, Bill.............So, THANX!

Hey Billman,
Dont forget to add me for a go over as I posted in post #2 for Friday morning. You already did TCT, VA, and TSB for me but I needed you to take a look at the clutch and also bring me replacement modified hardtop latches as I got a set from you a few years back but they still squeak / wobble (wonder if I accidentally picked up an unmodified version). Thanks!

Leverage! It's an amazing thing.

Oh and Bill. I have an EXTRA old TCT that I owe you from.........oh lord probably 5 years ago that I told you I would hand over to put into your inventory of cores.

The one you sent me still works great and super happy!!! Don't think I need anything done but I will definitely track you down to say HI and Thank You for everything you have done for this community.

Schedule may not allow me to attend this year, but the Metro guys are coming down two weeks before (April 27) and I may be able to come down then.

OK, I'll be the first to say it. THAT JUST SUCKS.

Hanging out at the Billman tech session absorbing information is always one of my bucket list items at the event.
oh well, hopefully next year.
