Hello Todd,

 From the sounds of this I'm going to guess that this is a pmail
 from Michael Sullivan about his Syncro Westy??

You are right this is regarding Michael Sullivan,but as you can see
I recommend an up grading of the drive train.
I think you will do a good job and strongen the transmission as well as
posible.
This is even better when  Michael Sullivan goes for the 2.6 l engine .
This engine have a continued power developement what is better than
a sudden power peak.

 If so, don't
 worry about his transaxle not being able to take the HP.  I'll
 make sure of that!!
May you give me some information how , because aspecial with the Syncro
transmission the have lots of problems.
My friend in Germany interested in get a up graded transmission.

Sincerely Detlev
