Kevin,

Don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but assuming you're push starting
to SLC, Never push start a Syncro with the tranny in lower than 2nd gear.
They have too much torque and may split out the side of the tranny case.

Bob Stevens Is in the SLC area and knows his local shops.  I'd trust his
advice anytime in the area.
