RE: p.o.(s.) rant

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

My parts guy (who specializes in European imports and is partial to VW/Audi)
doesn't even have a listing for the new bolts.  We reused them in my
brother's GTI, and he actually drove it for 2 months without Loctite.  Then
we dropped the tranny again just to put Loctite on the bolts.  PITA, but
cheap insurance to prevent at least part of what happened to you.
