pray it was, these things are an arm and a leg to replace! I would go with a
4k (which is $100 cheaper) but its too buzzy on the highway. Thanks,

My 16v tranny (also an '86.5) self destructed on the original owner
at about 50k and was rebuilt under warranty.  Now at 116k, and it
feels like it's got a LOT of life left in it.. synchros perfect
and all.. hopefully it was rebuilt with a bolt kit.
