After driving my 100 from MD to Tahoe for Open Roads 2002 I continued on to
the PCH to drive down to LA to see family before heading home. Some
place around Lompoc 2nd gear broke and I realized it was going to be a long
trip back east with only 1st and 3rd. I called Smitty and fortunately he
had both a kit and a freshly overhauled Toyota W58 on hand. He lent me
the use of his lift, tools and knowledge and two days later I drove out
with an operative 5-speed transmission which got me back to MD. Smitty was
a wonderful guy, always willing to help.
