Re: 2.8 12V V6 Cat

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

There was a recall relating to the driver's side cat for 1993-1994 90
series cars with automatic transmission.  I don't think this applies to
you (manual trans?) but you're not the first person with a manual
transmission to have the same problem.  Nag your dealer and nag people
in higher positions.  There may be another recall in order!
