Answer: The starter ring gear is missing.
I had replaced the clutch and pressure plate and forgot to place the starter ring gear on the new pressure plate. A really dumb move on my part. The car was completely assembled and ready to take for a test drive..... NOT.

I guess because it is taken out of context, or maybe people just don't like Fred.

Here is the whole clip, a harmless moment in 1967 when Fred Rogers led some youngsters through the familiar children's song "Where Is Thumbkin?," which is traditionally accompanied by participants' holding up the corresponding fingers as they are each named in the song.

Thanks for pointing this out Cash Flyer - I may be old school but there are too many who feel they have to twist things into something vulgar in a feeble attempt at humor.

It's lazy and disrespectful to a great man.

I gotta agree here. Its one of those things you don't do. Fred Rogers was a modern day saint in my opinion. There's an old story of how his car got stolen and a few days later it was back in the same spot with a note that read "If we had known it was yours, we would have never taken it".

Not many people who have that kind of cred.

The man was dedicated to love and understanding. Here's a video of Mr. Rogers, killin' em with kindness...
