In early '94 just after I started using the car, I was having a few problems
with the O/D, so to quicken the job of adjusting the damn thing, I simply never
bolted the gearbox cover down. Only problem with this idea is the way your
feet get washed if your hit a big puddle, and the way you start to feel a bit
drowsy after driving for a few miles with a leaky exhaust manifold gasket :-)
PS. anyone out there going to the Essex areas event at Duxford Imperial War
museum this coming weekend, I went last year and won the Treasure Hunts first
prize of a flight in a Tiger Moth Bi-plane.
