the ford top loader and saab 96 gear boxes make the sprite gear box look
like a walk in the park!  (the saab one more so than the ford one)  i have
no less than 6 saab gear boxes apart in the shop right now!  and i wish they
were sprite ones over and over!  (and i posess a saab factory trans jig!)
the joy of racing saabs!   :)

chuck.
