4kq tranny removal question - more :-)

[Duncan Thomson]

I used to be on a Porsche 944 list (before i wrote her off... still
recovering from the loss)
they had a guy that did the same thing with some of his porsche special
tools, there was basically a nominal membership fee and people went onto a
waiting list when they wanted the tool...
the lister would pay shipping both ways, BUT it had to be insured... this
was important as the tool did go walkabout once or twice...
just thought it might be worth mentioning... make sure your tools are
insured with a reputable mail service who will pay up rather than give you
the run around...

being a new zealand lister, i'm sort of out of the loop, but it's a great
tribute to you guys that you would think of doing this..
good on ya...

cheers
