No complaints, Tom, I am indeed having problems with the V6anagon. Turns
out it's not the V6 engine or the adapter, despite my early STRONG
suspicions in that direction. Current prime suspect is a worn transmission
input shaft-- the (new) pilot bearing sits pretty loosely on it. Stay
tuned.

Odd vibration characteristics of the Chevy 2.8L V6 engine, still make
me scratch my head.
