What route are you going with the tranny?

Just a stocker, I was hoping this transmission would last me through this year, so then when I garage it for the winter I could upgrade then, but since I'm getting the replacement checked out by Chad so I'll be okay for a while I think...I hope

I'm damn near positive you're right. The timing with 5th gear popping out and the case cracking it makes perfect sense. I suppose it could be a lot worse.

That's a nice car! My expectations are being raised the more I read about e85 with the e316g.
When the transmission is out I'll be be doing the fuel pump rewire and addressing some of the small stuff. There's still a hefty exhaust leak from between the manifold and turbo, so a gasket is definitely in store. Also, the VC gasket is starting to seep a little, and it seems pretty wet by the oil pan too. Overall it'll be a good time to get a lot things done.
