You can check the speedometer cable for breaks and the ends to make sure they are still square. Also check the plastic gear in the transmission, it could be stripped. My experience leans towards the cable before the gear.
Good luck.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
