gearshift linkage rebuild makes for a new car again

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Yeah, the Redline MTL slid out of mine quite nicely prior to the rebuild (it 
had 270,000 kms on it with no real issues). Several partway attempts (new 
seals, new flanges) lead to the inevitable indestructible option, it doesn't 
leak now <EG>, but it's not old now either. That proved to be fun in the 
rain day before last, lots of traction issues, but all in a straight 
line...hehe. Gotta rotate the tires I guess. Cathy
