tools for tranny swap?

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

It just dawned on me that I;m not 100% positive on the triple-square sizes
(CVs and possible starter) and allens. You would be wise to get sets of
those anyway!  One of 'em's bound to fit...   :)

Lisle makes decent quality, reasonably prices sets of each.

Both the [6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm triple-square] and the [allen
3,5,6,7,8,9,10,12mm] sets were each less than $10-15 IIRC

G/L, JT
