Bummer for the bad luck fella's...
Hang in there and hope the repairs are quick and easy... Just think what may have happened had you not been able to stop the rolling car and what more damage would have occurred... though I'm sure "visions" were racing through your heads as you chased it...
DANG... 
You guys need better luck!!

Thanks for the updates guys. Glad you're safe and sound and have some idea's on what may have caused it. The story Stephen posted is hysterical. I'm glad there will be a happy ending. Good luck for the repairs to both of you.

I'll call the builderin the morning and see what he thinks it is. Transmission will most likely be coming out by the end of this week.

I had to replace my linkage cable from my shifter back. It is very possible, the heat and time wears the cable pretty good and causes these sorts of things to happen. I hope that is the problem, it is a PITA to swap, but it wasn't very expensive to buy. Sure hope that is what it is.
Good luck Chris.

You guys need to get some of the higher power angel dust that Stu runs with ... seems he was the only FL to KY non-casualty this weekend. What do you think Stu ... can you hook these guys up?
