Tranny is in immaculate shape for its age and shows hardly any corrosion. Should be in good running order once installed.

Angry

SNAFU with the Fidanza flywheel. Starter would not disengage. Motor had to be pulled again. I guess something needed to go wrong cuz the swap has been too smoothe until now. Couple days setback to say the least....
