Help Me Preserve My Repurtation

[Paul Caouette]

Wow!

Looks like I'd better crawl under that car one more time.

The holes in the bracket were coated with grease and there was no evidence
of any bolts having been through them in quuite some time. hmmmmm

Two holes hold bracket with bolts through tranmission...transmission
attached to pwertrain with bolts......AHA!

Transmission in danger of dropping due to gravity......must remember not to
roll UNDER the transmission whhen checking this one out.

THanks folks.

IT now makes sense...at bit.

I'll let you all know what gives....or hopefully doesn't give!.
