nice and dry. The hole differential can slide side to side by a few mm and=

On the whole the tranny does not make any unusual noises. It shifts in all=

gears and reverse... there is a bit of a stutter when letting the clutch=20
out in first that I originally thought was the clutch or pressure plate or=
