 18 miles tonight.  If I'm gonna get stuck in a gear,
 I'd prefer to leave it in 3rd, high enough to roll
 home, BARELY low enough to get rolling.

the 3-4 gear slider hub cracked..   you need another tranny, my friend.. :<(
 there are a few vendors on the list who have decent prices on rebuilt ones..
