Yeah, that was my thought. It may be fine, but its Russian Roulette, and for a hundred or so bucks, good insurance against a blown engine. I just spent 4000 on a busted tranny (dont ask!), so I cant afford another big ticket.

Lets call it 'aggressive preventative maintenance', eh?

4 grand on a tranny wholy crap....everytime i changed my tranny (3 times )it cost 3 grand....

Yeah, but it was the tranny plus work needed when the tranny was pulled. The bozo who replaced the toothless flexplate/flywheel bent the steering components, broke the starter, and didn't replace the engine mounts, which had no rubber in them at all. He did all those when he did the tranny. Damned fine guy, actually. Very good at what he does.
Also,the tranny has the upgraded Furd parts, so its a lot more robust now....

If only I could start the SOB...
(Sigh)
