> Thanks for the list Norm. I was just reading through your book Tech Talk and
I just emailed a recommendation to a local friend to buy the book. I cannot
recall if he has it yet or not. He just moved back from CA with his BN7
project he acquired a few years back. His car is in very similar condition to
mine.

bit heavy and it wanted to drop through the hole but I suppose I can wear a
football helmet with full face guard so that I don't loose the center portion
of my face!

> *It was not engaging sometimes during a drive. I would get stuck at an
intersection.

manuvering of the shift lever to get it functioning again.
> *It would be locked in gear and if I let the clutch out it would bog down
and die immediately locked in gear.
> *I took the side cover off and cleaned the balls and springs for the
selectors. That helped. There was gunk in there that I flushed out.
> *After flushing the ball and springs I never had it freeze on me again.
> *Yet, it would not stay in first, made horrid "rurr, rurr, rurr, rurr,..."
noises in first and reverse.
> *My tranny fluid has some nice fine metal sand in the bottom.
