I'm interested in this thread, as well.  The synchro recommendations for
Redline -- how should I interpret this for an '85/2WD ?

Also, what tools are needed to do the MT oil change?  A 17mm allen? or
something between a 16mm and 17mm and that's why Simon is shaving off bits?
 or something 'other' (like a special Deutches KanOpenerTool? ;-) ...and if
'other' where do you get this thing or approximate it?

85 GL "VanaBlue" (who has never had a tranny oil change, as far as I can
tell from PO records.)
