Well, that was more fun than I thought it would be..... the responses, I mean.
Anyway, David's got the allusion correct. And I too thought it odd that the 
ds would be keyed. So I took an extra ds and tranny and 
for-whatever-reason, they don't mate well in all but one or two spots. I'm 
glad I wasn't trying to install the d*mn thing up inside the tunnel. Last 
time my arm, and armpit got so oily and cruddy I vowed not to do it 
again.... and I didn't. It's not my car. Certainly on MY car, there 
wouldn't be all that, um.. rust preventative present.
         As an aside, this job was to R&R a very noisy  and leaky tranny in 
a BE whose engine I assisted in refreshing last winter. The car had since 
done over 3000 miles. No drips. Paul A's rear crank repair is working 
wonderfully. I highly recommend it.

Have a nice weekend, and play nice.
