OK lets see who can name this quickly made little tool? If you have a Chevy you need one.

Hint the CMP special tool number is K-353

Tool
 
Clearly it's an underwater exemplicator which is part of the towing system used when it's hooked onto the back of a Ford CMP. :p

Are you sure you are working on a Chev...??
 
.....either that or I didn't fix my Chev properly....

Looks to me like a Harperitist..... totally useless and unnecessary...... similar to the Bushitist in the States.....

I refuse to look up in the book for the tool number......it's raining and my book is in the barn......hihihi

.....now I will be up all night trying to figger this one out....

Is it some sort of protector for when your wife wants to put your nuts in a vice after you've told her you bought another Chev? :nono:

Don't be embarrassed, Keefy... you know Chevs are always willing and happy to tow out stuck Fords whenever they come across them. :)

K-353
 
Hi Phil - as everybody should know it is a home-made Gearshift Lever Remover. However it bears no resemblance to the images in MB-C1 or 2. What is my prize apart from more derision from the un-educated.
:teach: Bob

Prize goes to Bob

You are correct it is a quick and dirty but very effective tool for removing the shift lever. For years I have been looking for one of these tools. Some times you can push and turn with your fingers or heaven forbid use a pair of pliers. Usually I just removing the whole top of the transmission. Then while working on the engine swap on my C60S I had the transmission up on the bench and happened to notice that the cross section of slot was one inch and having a whole bunch of scrap 1x1 box tubing decided to make one. Little cutting with the plasma cutter, a little welding and a couple of touches with the bench grinder. The result is a very handy little tool.
