Hmmmm....that tranny failure happened after I was done with the veh. and it had been turned back in for sale. I ran it out to about 70k miles when it was exchanged for a 1984. I would have guessed it was repainted and sold at auction before it hit 74k miles, but maybe it hung around and was used for a while in Sacramento before being sold.

It takes a lot to break a manual transmission and I wasn't hard on it. Gotta wonder what happened to it right after I was done with it.
