Hey, if they wanna send me that transaxle and an engine/kit, I'll be happy
to put 'em in my van and see if I can figure out the problem. : )

California smog, you say? I bet with a little practice you could smog it on
Friday, have the Bostig in by Monday and off you go for two years... next
round comes up, swap the OG drive train back in, get the smog, come home,
shuffle the deck again. I bet with both computers in the van and some
creative wiring, a "swap kit" on hand and so on you could do the R&R in one
working day. When's the last time anybody had any "official" take one glance
at their drive train between smogs?

Not that I'd ever advocate anything illegal, mind... ; )

Cya,
Robert
