[brian hoeft]

Mike, regarding the drilling location, please to let us know if/when that
gets posted..

I looked in my Bentley to inform L-A but didnt find it..

my experience with VAG auto box's is no better. change that fluid! & isnt
there a vacuum line (for the kickdown diaphragm) that typically gets
neglected?
