transmission recap (long)

[rick@brubakerbox.com (Rick Alexander)]

Agreed! I've not done a water cooled transmission yet (my time is coming
though) I have done a lot of air cooled ones though. To set up a ring and
pinion is 1. time consuming, 2. tedious, 3. requires quite a bit of
concentration. I can't imagine doing this work with an audience burning
holes in the back of my head. An improperly set up R&P can howl like a cat
in heat and it would make you crazy in short order. Now you do want it done
right don't you?
