To List, I received quite a few emails a couple of weeks or so ago, when I discussed my tranny rebuild and the easily and cheaply available parts. I just picked up my rebuilt 5 speed tranny. Total co
thanks again for the info. This kinda stuff is what makes this list valuable to all. I have a 2 litre (plus 2 1600's) and the 2 litre tranny sounds like a Mack Truck when you wind it up. Mike Koken
