Geez Peter!

Relax there buddy.  Need a roofie or something?  I didn't even read the ebay
ad but it looked like the first post to the list was someone just stating
that there was one on ebay, not that you were trying to sell one.  Maybee I
missed the first post.  All I said was to watch out because early S4 trannys
DID have a serious problem.  It is fact.  I didn't see what vintage you had
because I didn't see it anywhere in the post I read and there was no "RE" in
the subject, so I figured I was looking at the original.  Can't remember
what exactly it said now but I definately did not bad mouth your tranny.
I'm just looking out for my fellow listers that may not know of early S4
tranny problems.  Sorry if that is a bad thing.  I do wish you luck with the
auction though.
