It's A Success! Abandoned 1962 AMC Rambler 

Glad you hung in too.... but dude, with this kind of drama, you gotta keep coming back!!!...

Thanks. Me too. Who knows what’s going to happen.

Thank you.

That’s why I made a point to explain myself in the video. I knew manipulating the tap would raise red flags with some. I appreciate your nice comment & for watching the videos.

I have a couple of ramblers myself. I am an amateur, we always learn by experience and watching others. Thanks for being open and even vulnerable, it’s risky in the internet! That’s why I admire you!

Thank you. I really do appreciate the kind words. They mean something. This transmission still needs to prove itself out on the road. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens as well. Part of the pain I put myself through is due to being a 95% purist.

I get it. I’m thinking a 10 miles test drive drain it. See what it looks like. Thankfully the pan has a drain plug. Maybe even drop the pan to make sure the screens are clean.

That’s neat. Thanks for sharing that. I want to see me drive it too. I’ve got another one waiting to come in.

I guarandamntee you this one still has some problems too!

Thank you. I hope you get yours sorted out.

There has to be something lurking.

Just wait till it’s on the highway.

I appreciate the kind comments. I can’t wait to see either. The front seat is crispy crunchy & there’s not much left of that back seat. Need to get creative.

Thanks for the nice comment. I hope the test drive goes well.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate that greatly. I’ll be a pro at it in no time.

Gotta get these little victories.

I’m glad you think so.

Thanks for the congrats. That’s funny, I think that name could fit a lot of different types of companies.

Got it. Thank you.

Thank you for telling me that. It is useful. The manual I’ve been following says model 35 transmission on the cover. Not sure if it’s suppose to be for M35 or T35 or both. I’m not sure what the difference would be if any for checking fluid level. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Yes cleaning is coming soon. I need to bleed the brakes again. The pedal almost went to the floor.

How eloquent!

Thank you kindly.

They really do.

I get it. That’s why I took a minute to explain myself in the video.

It seems you may not be getting the vibe here??? ...which is cool... its why we are all here.... to learn new things. So, there was a time in the US of A when folks did not abandon something simply because it was ugly or old or worn or because doing so was cost effective. In those times cash was scarce and folks would do anything to revive those things they had already invested in so that they could continue to use them. Think of the expression "necessity is the mother of invention". If necessity is the mother then the father of invention is the product of knowledge and effort. The exercise here is to gain and use knowledge and apply effort in a time of need to overcome a technical problem so that something can be useful again. Learning new things and then applying a degree and level of effort that is not "cost effective" are the core skills in obtaining self sufficiency in life. When you drive a 60 year old beater in town 1 out of a hundred people will really understand the significance of that act and only another 1 out of the remaining 99 will have the curiosity to ask about not just the car but the learning journey that comes with reviving and keeping something so old. Cars like this are neither pretty, nor cost effective but they loudly state that there are other values to not only think about but to begin living so that you are prepared for anything. Along the way, mis steps and swearing will abound and fluid and blood will be spilled but the learning produces a confidence in one's self sufficiency for which no cost effective metric can exist.

Isn't it in drivable condition now if the Trans. actually works ?

@NoWr2Run yes and no. This car has an enclosed drives haft in a torque tube that connects diff to transmission through a rubber mount called a trunion. Diff, u joint, and trunion are untested. Wipers lights horn signals as yet not tested on video.

I understand. The ultimate goal with this Rambler is for it to be a daily driver. I'd like to be able to turn the key on a whim & scoot from point a to point b. Just a regular vehicle like it once was. Not perfect, but usable.

Technically. Needs some more testing.
