austinsailor Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 If you are anywhere near there I'd love to talk to you, maybe pay you to pick up a transmission and take it to a shipping point for me. The old fellow who has it isn't capable of moving it. If you're nearby and might be willing please message me or ask questions. Thanks, Gene Quote
moose Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 My in-laws live in Westfield. I'll find out when we might be heading out that way. Might not be until Thanksgiving... Hopefully there'll be somebody closer. Quote
austinsailor Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Posted October 9, 2014 I'll try to figure out how that works. I found an OD transmission for this airflow, but the guy is old and can't move it. It needs to go from Southampton to The FedEx office in Framington, about 80 miles. Just show up at Fedex's door, they'll pack and ship it on my account. Someone has put a plain 3 speed in mine, the OD is in parts in a box. I can really use this thing. Help please! Quote
austinsailor Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 What a small world we live in. My son heard I was buying a transmission. He said a good friend, who was his best man, lived not far away. Called him, he's happy to pick it up and take it to Fed ex. Guy is paid, things are moving. What a good week this has been! 1 Quote
Nikwillig Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Glad to hear that you've found what you're looking for, and that things are now moving in the right direction. I bet that's a load off your shoulders, for now at least. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Now if only we all could find a good deal on a transmission and then buy the car to go around it! Quote
moose Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Cool for you, and I'm off the hook! Quote
austinsailor Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 I hadn't thought about it, Ed, but I guess that is what happened. Found the transmission, posted it thinking one of you guys might need it. Then found the car, wife says we need it. Figured out I could use it, he still has it, friends help getting it moved. Coming from complete opposite ends of the country, all meeting in the middle. About the same time. If I wrote it up as a fiction story it would be too far out to believe! Quote

Its a good example of the amazing power of the internet. Quote
