Hey Brandon, I'm in Bend and lucked out finding that Fisherman is on the forum and lives close to me. I went to his house the other day and learned a bit more about the vacuum system and what was going on with my sloppy tranny shifts. Was able to cure the problem which was a relief, I was already getting estimates on a tranny rebuild just in case.
I saw your posts and pictures when a few of you met near Portland a couple of months ago. I'd be interested in another gathering but I don't drive the MB when the roads are bad especially across the mountains. Maybe you can plan another gathering later in spring or summer. Maybe make a run to Multnomah Falls or somewhere fun if we could get enough people to make it fun.
Should probably of started another post for this stuff as I'm now off topic but what the heck. Good to chat with another MB fan in the NW.
