Facebook post I am cross posting to see what help is out there. Does not sound good especially if he already has been talking. To manny.

From Nicholas Hoehl:

Help... ? I'm near Cody, WY and no longer have a forward gear. (77 Eleganza with CO-OP roller-cam engine and Manny Tranny installed this winter) We
just went thru the Big Horn mountains (8900 ft. Elev. @peak) I'm experiencing blow-by and replaced the air filter and breather sponge 20 miles ago.
Just got off the phone with Manny himself and added a quart of trans fluid (dipstick read over full, but it took the whole quart!) He fears it's fried
clutch plates. Now we're stuck on the side of hwy 14. Does anyone have any solid ideas for something I could check or do? I have most tools but only
moderate experience. Thanks in advance!

Both the new motor and new tranny bad????? That is really odd. I assume by blowby and air filter he's referring the the engine. If Manny says the
clutches are fried, he's not going to fix that on the side of the road and should start looking for a shop that can swap out the tranny.

There's more to this story than is being told thus far. Don't take
everything you read as the complete gospel.
