One of what I believe...

Thoughts? Should I replace them? The argument of not having to take it apart again is not an issue for me since it is very easy to get this transmission out and if I can go another 2 years without...

I haven't removed them from the engine yet but I will.


Well, I am hoping someone would point me in a common fault direction but I can certainly identify obvious issues.

Another update. I was under the car again double checking that the shift pin bolts were not backed out and in general just poking at things. I took the car for a drive and while it was difficult to...
