when i was a kid they were maybe 50 pounds? now they're thousands of pounds- immovable.



When I was young a LONG time ago I used to put a cast iron 3-speed or a 4 speed Muncie on my chest and bench press it into the bell housing. Now I can barely move them. That is why I have Kevin

I can relate to all that.
I used to bench press a Ford top loader 4-speed every weekend when I was 19. I had a close ratio trans and 4.11 gears (9" rear) for the weekend, and a wide ratio trans and 3.23 gears for during the week. Friday after work I washed the car, changed the rear pumpkin, and swapped the transmissions.

Then I bought a Chrysler and the first time I put that big 4-speed manual on my chest I almost cried for help.
