What are you doing with your Rangers season ticket ?

:chuc kle:

I`m sure that you will get games out there over the internet. (Teds tv)

How can you even think of going to that particular colony after what McDonald did on Saturday ?

Hope it works out well for you and that The Burd can Follow Follow you out there soon.

I remember that when Scotland played Australia (home & away - if you pardon the Aussie pun) to qualify for the 1986 World Cup Rangers players spent half of their time attending supporters functions.

I also remember Rangers playing the Australian national team at Ibrox and The Coop scoring two brilliant goals - did he ever score any other type ?

He also put one into their net in the World Cup game at Hampden from a free kick. Frank (where`s the burds ? ) scored the other.

Don`t forget - there is a corner of some foreign field that is forever Ibrox.

Best of luck.

AS for the season ticket i am doing with it what i should have done a long time ago
I will still watch the game thats for sure but i am so dissillusioned with the Manager and the teams he picks.
I am sure there are many Rangers fan clubs over there- should be fun

Electrical/Mechanical engineering, although I don't get much chance to put it into practise these days. I'm just waiting for retirement which is just around the corner.

Hi Eddie, it usually works until you get the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light or check engine light) abrupt upshift, and the catch-all P1860 trouble code "transmission component slipping". If GM in their wisdom had incorporated a turbine speed sensor, then it would have been easy to isolate the problem friction element.

Chrysler has been doing that for close to 20 years with the veteran A640 automatic transaxle. Clutch volume indexes are a simple and accurate diagnostic aid, as well as comparing input and output shaft speeds per gear ratio.



As far as the hydraulic schematic is concerned, if the Forward clutch and 3-4 clutch are pressurized then its accurate for a GM Hydramatic 4L60-E in 3rd gear. Both shift solenoids deactivated
