Message	I always leave the tranny in if I don't have a reason to pull it, dropping the crossmember will let the oil pan clear to move forward and let the pressure plate out of the bellhousing. It only takes 8 nuts and 1 bolt to drop the cross member.... with an impact wrench it only takes 10 minutes! ____________________________________________________ "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
