4 sd. versus.3 spd. mounts?

Studs are shorter on the 4-spd. mount, for one thing... destroyed my #$^%$^% shifter plate when I decided to change my rear mount (was a

3-speed mount) and had to lift it up real high to get the mount out... I'll never do that again.

N8 if you are going to York let me know. You also might want to pack anything you want to sell. Figured I'd ask on here since your e-mail and phone voice mail is not working.

hmm, haven't gotten an email from you but it is working... I haven't called you yet because I still don't know if I have a car or not. I can't leave if I don't have a car within the next couple days... stopped by shop on the way home but they still haven't finished it yet

That's why we shouldn't live too long. Seeing the SOS despite attempts to "correct" such deportment just gets real old...

Actually, the loan of the pickup was my backup suggestion. The best idea is for the GF to get a new car, or N8 to find a GF that owes one. If the SOB gives up York this year, we've lost him for good,so young, and so domesticated.

There is no $$$ for a new car... sales manager at work has offered me his old F**d pickup for a fire sale price, but the thing is I have to wait until his new company vehicle comes in before I can take him up on it. (couple more paychecks wouldn't hurt either.)

If I could find a mechanic that wasn't worthless, I wouldn't be in this situation right now. I just spent an afternoon cleaning oil up from under the hood of her POS (since I finally had a weekend day above freezing,) well it wasn't a POS when she bought it but after being hacked up by three different mechanics it pretty much is. At this point I need to put it back together myself because from what I've seen I'm never taking a car to any of the people that have worked on this one... bolt heads stripped, steel bolts going into aluminum threads with no anti-seize, O-rings reused and smeared with silicone, banjo bolt seals reused (and leaking) PCV valve gutted, supercharger silencer box which the FSM tells you never to take apart, taken apart and reassembled with silicone, etc. etc. etc. I am not happy. plus the pulley for the A/C compressor which is supposed to be new looks like it's been attacked by a pry bar, I don't know if the new serp. belt is going to last with that on there. Did I mention that I'm pissed off?

I like the guy that has the Porsche right now, he seems like a good guy and there's several immaculate race cars in the shop. Unfortunately he is SLOW. And doesn't work on anything but Porsches.

Well, we have a room for York, plenty of room for you and some parts in the truck. Actually better if you don't go, with your luck, all the dream parts will show up if you don't.

I'm still waiting to hear about the car, even if I end up screwed I can still probably manage to drive up for the day Friday. It's actually not that far from here although the drive up 270 sucks.

N8, this is York, we go up on Friday morning anyway.

I know, but if I don't have my car back I'll have to leave Fri. night or early Sat. AM.

I did stop at the shop and talk to the guy Fri. night so he knows about my deal so hopefully he will at least get the important stuff done.
