My car was in the garage receiving a complete stereo install, complete with
custom raised floor area for a sub over the tire wheel. While I was doing
this complete stereo system makeover, I noticed a puddle of oil underneath
my car...turned out to be gear oil. :/  I thought the worst and assumed my
tranny was junk.  Come to find out, it's just a blown input shaft seal.

I'll still be rebuilding it though while it's out.  .75 fifth and a 3.94
ring and pinion.  Should be quite exciting when it's done.  I've heard
a comparison saying that it's like adding 10-15hp. :)
