Re: Send-it 'back, NOS filter

JimD=> suddenly lost all ability to shift into gear. ... 
    => any suggestions? What to look for?  

I expect it'll be pretty obvious when you get the engine down. Sounds 
like a busted clutch plate.

BryanE=> Has anyone tried the spin-on NOS setup that Bill&Steves Sells?  
=> Does it reduce flow because of the lines?

A couple of years ago I picked up an NOS VW T3 oil-filter kit, 
purportedly designed for the North Africa market. It taps off the oil 
cooler, runs through a standard Fram filter (painted black for VW) 
mounted in the left rear upper corner of the engine compartment, and 
returns through a hollow stud in the front corner of the crankcase vent 
stand. If this is roughly equivalent to what B&S have, it's a 
partial-flow rather than full-flow system, and so won't substantially 
affect oil pressure. It'll also be less effective than a full-flow 
system, of course, but substantially more effective than the stock 
setup.
