Craig,

I too would like a quick and easy headlight upgrade.  Listees - Help.

What I can comment on is the auto tranny.  My 91 Carat has 173,000 miles on
it.  The auto tranny is bullet proof.  The only maintenance that I have ever
performed is fluid change at 60,000 mile intervals (it is due soon for its
next fluid change).  It shifts like new.  From list posts I believe that the
auto tranny is more reliable than the manual.

I would recommend the auto tranny to anyone without reservation.

Good luck and drive safely,

Dennis Lockwood
