We all pull bonehead moves from time to time. I think the duration between them is key, though.

the muffller is held on by straps under the car, not those two bolts in the rear corner of the engilne compartment

Correct, those are to set ride height.

Thanks for the replies.
If the shift rod is bent, what is the fix? Does the tranny have to be opened up? Come to think of it, it is a skosh hard getting into 2nd.
The bonehead move was the result of my attempt to remove the a/c mounting bracket from the case. I'll post a pic soon.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/silly.gif

Have you changed the engine oil yet? We get a lot of first time oil change disaster postings. Like using an 8qrt catch pan, when the engine and tank may hold 12qrts or more, etc. Good luck with it Matt!! Tony.

What all was "connected" when this motor hit the ground?


Best,

Check all flexible connections to the motor including fuel lines, throttle cable, wiring, heater hoses, oil lines and more that I can't think of right now. All together, these things can hold a motor up for a minute or so. Maybe longer, but they can be stressed.
Now you got the owner stress out.

Best,

Everything was connected and the motor didn't hit the ground. It dropped but stopped short of hitting the ground.
