Hey Steve, I remember when Slick 50 first hit the shelves.....I had a  
77 Honda wagon I converted to 5-speed with one of those "Low mileage  
engine/tranny" deals......tranny was full of goo when I got it, and  
flushed it out, ran it for 200K plus....started to chunk in 2 nd, and  
I tried the Slick 50.  Shifted like new, for about 3000 miles, then  
blew up.  I didn't blame the slick 50 as it just facilitated the  
impending doom of that tranny.  Probably dispersed all the chunks  
that I didn't get on the subsequent changes.....I gave that car away  
with over 300K on it, and it still got 35mpg at its worst....Vivid  
memory of driving to Breckenridge Co(kneale?), in 85 from Eureka, and  
got to Winnemucca, and it was -20 and there was no heat/no inner  
side's on the doors, and my friend was in his 0degree bag/hat/ 
etc....and kept saying  "are we there yet?.....Make's me love my car  
even more......Tom
