Ok I got a text today from a friend and member of the forum that read..."how come you never encourage people to break sheeet on the forum"?
Naturally there was much more to the text and its deeper meaning (if you knew who sent it to me
) but it made me laugh and than I went HMMMM!??
Why not start a semi humorous threads telling about parts that we have actively and deliberately attempted to break or destroy.
So here is the simple guidelines of this thread!!
Please post only about motorcycles ,cars boats or trucks that you PERSONALLY have tried to deliberately break something on them.
Let me start with one of parts breaking adventures.
Years ago I had a power-glide 2 speed GM automatic transmission in one of my cars. There was nothing wrong with it what so ever. In fact it was low mileage and I had recently rebuilt with many new parts. I had a Turbo Hydro 350 (3 speed GM automatic) I was planning to swap it out with it. So I decided I would find out if the stories about how a power-glide will take most any pounding you can give them and keep on shifting. So for the next couple of weeks every chance I got it was a neutral drop into first. A neutral drop for some that are not familiar with that term is when you have an automatic transmission and instead of placing the shiftier into a gear you leave it in neutral rev up the engine as high as you have the nerve to do and slam it into first gear. The tires always break and sometime haze up in a cloud of smoke and spin like crazy. Normally after a few times you blow the transmission all apart and usually un-rebuildable. That **** Power glide took at least 20 or more neutral drops and finally I got tired of doing them and swapped out the transmission. I gave that transmission to a friend and I told him what I had done and he used it without any problem for at least a year or two before selling the car with that power-glide still shifting fine.
