This 3-speed trans is gonna have to go...

Seriously guys...if I had known this was going to be an open invitation to berate a fellow member, I would have never started this thread. Some of you take the fun out of everything and I am reminded why some people stopped posting on this board.

Who is berating you, I sure don't see it. In regards to the car, it is the same NOW as it was 40 years ago. The only thing that has changed are the times.
