That would be ideal, but I hope Tom doesn't raise as big a fit as Roger does with his old car. If you are THAT worried about what happens to your car, DON'T SELL IT! I know that if I buy a car, I'm not letting anyone tell me how to maintain it. The kid seems mature enough to appreciate what Tom has into the car, and I'm sure will take pride in what he buys.

Well, sounds like if everything goes well then we'll have a deal then. If it happens then it happens, and so far Nkosi seems like he will care for the car. Most importantly he'll use it to thrash all you other suckers out there since I haven't been around to do it.  For those of you who are wondering why I would be putting money currently into a car that I'm selling, I love the car. I wish I didn't have to sell it. Honestly, I have certain big reasons in my life that put me between a rock and a hard place and this makes the most logical sense...and it isn't money issues. The big reason is due to being on Active Duty in the Army. I guess you could say it is truly just one more sacrifice for serving my country.

Although I had more of a 2nd gear issue than 3rd, MT90 didn't help nearly as much as ATF+3. And ATF+3 is nice and cheap. Ford honey sucked the worst. Just too thick in the winter. $5 of fluid! I can't see how it would hurt to try, even if you only want to drive it a few more weeks.  Brian 99 SVT
