I need some advice on pulling my 73 out of the driveway. Its parked nose in at a slight downward incline. I can't push it by hand, so I want to hook up a tow strap. The plan is to pull it out onto the road- which runs downhill. Once it is in the road I can drive it to the transmission shop. It moves in forward gear, just not in reverse :bloated:.
Any ideas for attaching the strap? Is the bumper strong enough? My rear valance really is in the way at the angle I need to pull. Were talking a 25' distance, slight grade.
ALSO. I'll be glad to have the transmission rebuilt; but I don't want to get overcharged. Should I ask them to rebuild mine? (FMX). I hate to settle for adjustments at this point, so I don't mind paying for an honest remove/rebuild/reinstall. What is a fair range for this transmission and should I ask for a shift kit for stronger 2nd gear?
