and winmutt, will the wrong auto fluid not lubricate properly?
the fork popped off the first time, the second time I was watching it closer. I dont know the history of this trans or the one before so I have no idea if it was lubrication, the awesome HP of my turbo 300 , or the thing was just ready to go. it broke while I was passing a car and shifted to third, but I was able to limp home rather noisily in 1st and 2nd. another month I would have bee ready to put in the 5spd, so this one is just temporary
