Synchronicity sucks

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Actually the cables attach to the tranny on the top.
I don't know what might be in the way in a MK IV, but in an A1 chassis there 
right there ;^)
It's a five minute job provided there isn't a bunch of stuff in the way and 
no tools required!
Go take a quick look and let me know if this is making any sense.
