RE: a free more q's on tranny removal



Ran into that with my brother's tranny in his GTI.  IIRC, Bentley forgot to
mention that this position even exists.  After we had the tranny free and
spent two hours wrestling it out of the car (yes, it is possible, but
difficult), and two more hours wrestling it back in, I looked at Haynes, and
it was right there.
