Re: [T3] Popping out of Gear

["Kris Kuckowicz" <chached_jag@hotmail.com>]

That's what I thought too. I checked the front mount today, and it is 
cracked horizontally at the top and bottom.  Now my question is, can I swap 
out this tranny, and put in the extra type 1 transmission that I have, so 
long as I plug up the rear mounting holes?

Thank you again,

Kris K.
