RE: new tranny part deux

Hell for $400 bucks you could buy a 5 speed and all the linkage and 
eveything else to do the conversion and have it shipped to you.  Then just 
give your favorite mechanic all the parts and pay his $55/hr to put it 
together.

I hate these ripoff artists that call themselves mechanics.
