Default Name that tool

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

Default 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.

Default 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?

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

Default 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.
Bob

Default 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.
