Subject: [Shotimes] 91 is toast


My 91 SHO, my winter driver for the last 4 years, is toast.

It already had bad head gaskets. Then yesterday, something in the tranny let
go -- doesn't move in any gear -- and it had to be towed home.  This tranny
has a Quaiffe differential, so I am guessing the failure is clutch-related?
Clutch-pedal feel is normal. Anyway, I don't have the $ it would take to
find out. This car's got 165K and the Courtney-built tranny has now failed
for the third time.

I'm going to transfer the suspension and other bits to the Plus From Hell,
and part out the dead 91. I'll drop the subframe and salvage what I can for
the SHOwagon project.
