Looking for a little pity
Well, driving to the West side EARLY this morning, I come up to one of those "3 stop redlights". You know, the ones where you finally make it up to the light on the 3rd try.
I'm sitting there and here comes the smoke from around my front fender wells. Another smacked up PS hose? I wondered during the light, then quickly got in the right lane pulling into a Office Cheapo parking lot. PS hose?? No..... Turned out to be the dreaded silent tranny killer. The short hose from the ATF filter sprung a leak. Luckily it didn't pour out straight to the street as it's happened to other members, but rather spurted out, hitting an exhaust header causing a visual warning. No damage done I don't think, and only a 20 minute fix, but I was still hoping for a little pity. You know, a couple of "ahhh, that's terrible electrophil!", or "Hey, it could be worse, keep that chin up guy!", or "Hey, sorry to hear it... I just paypal'd ya $60 for a fancy lunch to get your mind off the grief". You know, pity along those lines. |
"ahhh, that's terrible electrophil!"
"Hey, it could be worse, keep that chin up guy!" "Hey, sorry to hear it... I just paypal'd ya $60 for a fancy lunch to get your mind off the grief" Well, the first two anyway . . . ;) :D Dan |
You got lucky, no pity here.. glad you were able to see it.

A lot of cars have been PUSHED into the pizza shop parking lot over 'mechanical failures. that occur at the (subject to Guinnis Book rules) RED LIGHT!!! I am sorry that you had the problem, and rejoice that it didn't require a FIRETRUCK, or ROLL-BACK to bring this ,saga, to a close!! Jerry |

Only 7 miles from the strip, it includes a bed***, vintage boarded up windows overlooking the flood basin****, and partial indoor plumbing*****. Breakfast is free!****** (Offer voided during the peak season between February and December. ) * These 5 nights cannot be used consecutively, or in the same month ** There is no guarantee any of the 5 nights will be spectacular... at least not for you. *** Selected suites only, and not yours. **** Boards may be removed during police raids on the meth lab next door. ***** There's a small hole next to the boarded up windows. ****** In the soup kitchen next door. |

The same thing happened to me when I installed a tranny temperature sensor. I later replaced the hose with a 5 spd :D
