I went a place in San Anselmo when I was down there a couple years ago
and had some tranny trouble. I just needed a second opinion that it
wasn't a linkage issue -- the owner (Colby) checked it out, agreed it
was internal, and wouldn't take the $ I waved at him for his time. He
used to be on the list a while ago.

I wish I could remember the name of the place. The wagon....?...  I'm
really picky about mechanics and I would have trusted my van to the
guy (assuming he still owns it).
here it is:
