Had nice weather a couple days ago, and I had to move the Super from the lift bay back to where it normally sits. I had finished some painting on the Panama and now had the space back to park both cars normally. I took advantage of the sun and took the Super out for a quick 3 mile drive to warm it up. Started fine and ran fine. I'll need to do some fine-tuning when the weather gets warm again. For your viewing pleasure I also took a POV video of some of the drive. The car is super dirty, so sorry about the glare on the windows.





The rear leaf springs squeak quite a bit. How should I go about lubing those?

There is a rather prominent clicking coming from the transmission when it's under load. When coasting in gear or not hard on the throttle it is quiet. But when giving it some gas (accelerating or going up long mild inclines) the clicking is very noticeable. Follows the speed of the car. Coming from the trans and migrating up the shifter. You can hear it in the video between the 3:00 and 3:40 mark. I can get a better video if needed. What could it be? Trans oil is full and clean.
