Looks like i'd really want the M116, Im about done with the constant struggle and downshifting thanks to Betsy. I mean she's a great car to toy around in, but it's just not my style to always be turning down my tunes so I know when to drop it back into D 
Thanks for your input pawoSD! |
Yes they use one chain, it runs up and down and across between the heads....it is a pretty long chain and there are a number of sliders/guides....which is why its so important that it all be in perfect shape, if a guide breaks off..... 
I'm thinking it'd be a lot more of a pain than on the 240.....might be best left to a dealer.
