<<How can it fail when it has to stop at every gas station along the way

the first mole hill you encounter?>>

Georgie,

Not really true but Ok if you think so.

The Dynaflow's are a bunch faster off the lights than the 4 speed's.

Cheaper to repair than the sticks too.

I know this guy pretty good out in PA. and he has a Syncro.
4 Speed.

He has been dead on the water for over a year now.

It's gonna cost him some big dollars to repair the trans.

Like close to 4 large, and not hundred, I'm talking thousand.

And this is without a clutch, pressure plate, or any of the required
hardware.

You ought to talk to this guy.

He needs some encouragement, and sympathy.
I'll give you his phone number.

I think he'd really like to have a dog paddling automatic right about
now.

Let me know if you want his number, maybe you can help him out.
