Hahah, 140-160

Nah, i'm not here for donations... ;) ;) But seriously, i already got a free transmission, and i have FIVE HIF6s that i need to get sent out to Rhys as some leeway on two good rebuilt ones. I just sent him an email asking for more info and whatever else we need to talk about to make that happen.

And as for my tranny, i'm not complaining, but i'm kinda worried, because the synchros are either slightly worse than a couple months ago, or they were just never good to begin with. Which for me i don't really care at all about having ANY synchros at all. I always use heel-toe downshifting, ALWAYS. The thing that worries me though is that it makes noise in all forward gears except for fourth. And even in fourth i think i may be able to hear it a little bit. The tranny sure seemed tight when we compared it to the "3spd" i had in the car though. But i definitely can still hear it, so i don't want to be too rough on it, but at the same time, i want to go fast. I'm taking it pretty easy on it, but it still worries me a little. I'll top off the fluid sometime here if that's what it needs.

What i REALLY need to do is have some kind of workday, with some good smart mechanicky people to get some of this crap taken care of.

Whatever...
