Eric, I'd love to drive a stick car. I just don't know that I want to MAINTAIN one. The Stocker is a Super Bee. The bracket car is a Road Runner, but I don't think you've seen that.

If the stator support is not obviously broken, try turning it with a big pair of channellock pliers. If it won' turn, it's not broken. Assuming you have a 727 in the car, I've never seen a 727 stator support break or spin out.
