Well, the seemingly flawless 5-speed not only lost the Hydraulic pump
a few weeks ago, but got the hot "no start" in lane 4 of a very
crowded ferry line(10 lines). Since they board 2 lines at a time w/
20-30(?) cars in a line, I had some people squirming behind me......I
decided to try and push start it, and a few jumped in to help, and it
sparked right up.....(yeah manual tranny)....That was last week, and
it's gotten logarithmically worse, with the "cold water method"
working every time.(ferry worker laughed....). I'm tempted to
pillage the basically unused ones off the still sitting Lago car, but
plan on trying out those Ebay 5000 ones. Anyway, without this list,
I'd have never thought to pour cold water into an odd place on my
car, and have it start to everyone's amazement.....Wouldn't trade it
for the world....Tom
