Isn't it bad for a vehicle to sit for as long as yours does without driving it?

It's not the best thing in the world. But then you read about someone pulling a car out of a garage after 30 years and its fine.

Yeah that's true......I've been told by mechanics that things like pumps and such should be turning off and on.....seals need to be lubricated to avoid cracking, etc. I try pulling my dent out 2 or 3 times in the middle of winter when my driveway is clear of snow after a few sunny days and that's on top of starting it at least every other week and letting the engine temp get up to normal range.

Lost second gear after a 5000 RPM pull. Pulled it apart to find that the adjusment wedge for the intermediate band fell out due to somebodies misadjustment at some point. Band lining is quite nice.

Couldn't handle my big bad 390!

Going to reassemble with a new valve body from Broader Performance. The cost for me to rebuild my VB setup the way I want it (firm and quick) is almost as much as a professionally setup unit from him, so I'll go that route.
