I have, mine still leaks though... I haven't had the time to check
whether I installed it wrong or whether the machine shop screwed
machining the crankshaft... or if the leak is actually coming from
the tranny front seal... At least the leak's not as bad as it was
before (and you thought my car's rep was just a slogan on my sig
line). I WOULD recommend it, however...
