@binder123:
The transmission (and engine) were 'working when parked', though I can't say that either was in top shape. When it ran, it ran rough, and there were issues with shift timing and quality.
@vstech: Second car in my sig. Odometer stopped at 274k, and I put 2k on it after that. No idea how much the PO drove it before I got there.
@rs899: PM sent re: 'better factory manual'
Well, it's looking like I'll have a go at the engine and transmission, once I clear some shop space! Thanks all!
