Tranny Out, THANKS

["Owen" <mr.peepers@home.com>]

Hey Guys, thanks everyone for the hints on getting the tranny off, wow, that
was more wrestling than wwf smack down :)  This list rocks, you guys gave me
the will to give'er one more go, and low and behold, it worked

     I ended up having to cut off one bolt that i should have had to, so its
a trip to the stealership tomorrow, and they probably won't have it, so
it'll probably have to be ordered, and probably won't get here till next
week, which is bad for me seeing as my first Solo 1 race is on Saturday.
Anyone see any problems with running with just one tranny mount bolt instead
of two (the drivers side tranny mount, that mounts the actual mount to the
tranny, not the mount to the frame).

   Anyway, thanks again.
