[fear][trepidation] Transmission Question ReWorded :-)

["'84 Scirocco" <scirocco@macslut.org>]

Ooops, yep my mistake.

Anyhow I'm having no problems like that.  What I am hearing is a "bonk"
sound down by my left foot (I think, maybe its the firewall) occasionally as
I take off in first, and then again sometimes as I move into second.  Its
weird.   Gotta jack her up tomorrow if its warm.

Thanks

Greg
