Eric, your right of course there is only one way to learn, I'd rather not remember the first automatic I overhauled, it wasn't pretty. Since then its not a problem and there has been a couple of dozen over the years. :evil2:
Yeah that first one brings back not so fond memories here too. :sad2: But it was a good learing experience. Back then they weren't as understood as they are now. Although automatics aren't for everyone.
Maybe Smythge don't have time to do one either. For some it's a busy world. It's easier to shell out the bucks than spend the time. For me I have more time than money.
