That is a good thought and I can tell you that I put that part on. Iw as
borrowed from another bus - however there weren't any modifications made -
to be honest I wasn't even aware there was a difference at the time. I
needed the part and one was there for me to use.

I'll contact the PO and those who helped me install the engine the first
time.

That reminds me that part came from Joy's Matilda. Hey Joy is Matilda and
automatic or manual??
