[s-cars] transmission

[Mike Fitton]

Isn't the EDU one of the newer ones that eats syncros faster than 
usual?  I thought the one to get was from the RS2 or late S2...

Mine's fine, but I also ponder a 6sp from time to time, usually right 
after I get paid but before I pay any bills...

-Cheers!
Mike
