Default Today's adventure

So I was cruising into town after work earlier today, not beating on my old 7.3 IDI at all, when all of a sudden I lost 90% of my forward drive. Limped it into the local high school parking lot (not the one I go to, fortunately) and created this massive Florida-shaped mess on the ground caused by a broken transmission line. Coincidentally I bought two cases of ATF last week because I've been meaning to flush the trans, and a roll of 5/16" fuel line and clamps for my '77 Porsche 924 today - so I happened to have everything I need to fix it temporarily and get me home. I guess the trans is flushed now, hahaha. Enjoy and be happy it wasn't you...
