November 8th, 2007

Today was a fairly eventful day for the Lemans. The air compressor for the auto shop was finally working, so we could fill the tires and move the car back from where it was put for float building to it's original spot. Now that was had drive shaft clamps, we lifted the car, hooked up the drive shaft and put the clamps on.

We then started putting transmission fluid in the car. After we had put in about 3/4ths of the amount we needed, we noticed that the car was leaking transmission fluid, so we had to stop. It turns out the cooling lines for the transmission are not hooked up, so we spent the rest of the class period looking for those.

So, yet again, our search for missing parts keeps us from making any progress on the Lemans. The only things we need to do now to drive the car are hook up the aforementioned cooling lines and hook up the throttle.
