I'd suggest you do a little searching on that statement, Fritzee, even on this very forum. Take a walk outside this forum to get some real eye opening info.... you think mother GM would pay Ford for a transmission and not give them credit calling it "Dearborn" because it was weak?
Yes I would, researched them extensively,thank you as I have one of less than 12 -3-speed superMuncies. If I am wrong please show me your facts. No offense intended
Oh I'm not hating Fritz, but read the thread you linked. It reiterates what I said. They're not weak at all....matter of fact, my Mach 1 came factory with one. I didn't pull it because it was weak. I pulled it and the perfectly running numbers matching engine and sold them both to my buddy with a '68 Torino for $125 because, well, 302s and 3 speed manuals suck, in general....they may suck, but neither is weak
No harm no foul my friend! GM didn’t want to say “Ford “ so it said “ Dearborn” and that is definitely a TOUGH tranny. Sorry for confusion in my wording and no disrespect,brother.
Sorry I mixed up GM needing Ford 3-speeds trans versus whatever GM unit was available as a mistake. I am overwhelmed with solely taking care of “our”97 year old Mom and my older brother having terminal cancer and all the friends I have with their own issues calling me up for help non stop and I effed up.Okay?!! Really just feeling like eating a MF (my friend) bullet!!!! Probably NEVER drive another BBB ,people are dying off and I am in pain 24/7 so just finish me off when I make a misstatement, nothing personal Lucas just tried of my effed up existence! Liberals please feel to rejoice…. And NO I am NOT answering The phone. I will be here or I WON’T so tired of this Bull effin **** existence. Peace to all of you but it has expired here . My apologies. Jim, I just went platinum(keep the donation) but please just remove me from this site. & if possible delete all my content. I have all I can handle without also being ragged on (was just a suggestion from Lucas but my life is chaos). Enjoy yourselves my Buick brothers and again, I am not answering any calls. Enjoy your nice cars Fritzenshiftin all out!
I appreciate that relating man,but stuff is just building up for me, I won’t even begin to go into the whole list of things I have done to help people from giving parts I never announced till now,to helping many thankless POS’s I dropped everything to help them on THEIR cars, or helping move or founding a free Car Care Ministry to help single Moms & Widows & yet even though all I have is a POS fake GSX no one could even hurt I have gotten ZERO help to get behind the wheel of a bbb for decades. It’s all good when others need help or I can bless them in some way but except for a very limited few on here (thank you) I have NOTHING BUT NON RUNNING JUNK. Things were “real close” last night to me not typing this but I knocked myself out with my meds because my family needs me. I am deleting my Buick contacts,blocking others & have started the long process of deleting all my threads on here. Just sick to death that their isn’t ONE person that cannot show some mercy and compassion to help me get back in some form of Skylark or GS. Yes, I am disabled and that “pay” only (but thank God for that at least!) and maybe I just don’t deserve something. Each day my 24/7 pain gets worse and at the same time everyone in my family guilt trips me into doing **** they won’t do themselves & I am a magnet for people in trouble who need a kind listening ear and I just cannot do it anymore. I have always been happy forever people who are extremely blessed with multiple awesome flawless cars & I did too at one time but I sold them to support our family as I was totally ripped off at the family business and when cancer, deaths etc comes calling I unloaded the best of everything I had because family is number one after God of course. I cannot STAND the moral decay & fighting of Americans against Americans nor can I keep up with our daily driver needs,ALL our appliances needing repair or halt the non stop rotting of our 1890 home,the caving in of the barn and sheds or the march of overgrowth of weeds,vines,fallen trees and the list of things my 97 year old Mom aggressively expects me to do (not that I would ever deny here or my brother or sister who lives 4 hours away). I just cannot take anymore, so I am thinning everything I can by getting off here,off Facebook and deleting everything Buick related in my cell phone and at least till I can get in a better place blocking everyone else who have no issues of requesting my help and giving me ZERO help in return. I know other bullshit will step in to fill up that “free time” or hell, if I am lucky maybe I will just die and be done with ALL the crap I endure (you have NO idea what I don’t share). Anyhow, I am over it all. Hell maybe I will sell all my **** and get a used Hemi car like others have done! Having never known anything but Buick’s I know that isn’t happening though! I do know I am going dark and will just be a lone wolf though on as much as I can. Thank you for those of you have helped me in many ways but I just can’t endure seeing more no expense spared cars and walk outside to see the junk in my driveway sitting there for literally years. Fritz out
Fritz, I don't know you, but appreciate your spirit and humor in the time I have been here. I am super sorry to hear that you are so overwhelmed, and struggling. Also, sorry I am too far away to offer to help you with your cars. You wouldn't want either of my cars ;~) Please don't make rash moves on the forum? Just take a break and hopefully you can come back to us... Hang in there.
I agree with what Max said. There will probably be brighter days ahead. You just need to hang on until they arrive. I have owned my '69 since 1977 and it still looks like a hunk of junk. Here is a recent picture of it, in year 43 of its restoration:
