=>Well, I finally got around to slapping the gti rims & tires that
=>my wife got
=>from Brian H while up in Cincy on her cabby.  Figured since I made it that
=>far I would put the new speed-o cable in as well.  A friend dropped by and
=>figured he'd lend a hand so while I was looking at some things under the
=>car, he went to pop the new cable in.  Well as luck would have
=>it, he dind't
=>notice that there was a circle clip on the old gear&cable so when
=>he put the
=>gear on the new cable and when to put it back into the tranny,
=>the gear came
=>off and down in the tranny it went.
=>
=>So, after many choice words were said, I'm now stuck.  I really, really,
=>really don't want to have to drop the tranny outta the car.  What are the
=>chances I could snake a grabber tool (little 3 claw thing) down
=>in there and
=>fish the damn thing out?  Or is there another way to get at the dam thing
=>without having to drop the tranny?  I can't see one but I figure my friend
=>can't be the only person to ever do this.
