Re: Synthetic tranny fluid?

["Sean Ford" <sean@nwh.org>]

Hi, all,
   I'd like to weigh in here on the '92 100 and it's apparent leaks. My car
leaks... nothing. In 6000 miles, it has not burnt, nor lost, any oil and it's
running it's first complement of synthetic. Of course, it's a 5 speed so there
will be no auto tranny fluid in the driveway.  Sure, I have a strange
engine-speed related vibration and a slightly lumpy idle, but they're both
tolerable little problems. Sorry to sound so defensive, but I had a wonderful
ride in this morning and I felt compelled to stand up for the 100. It's my
baby. 

  BTW, if my wife saw this message and it's tone.... she'd try to slap some
reality into me.
