Well about 4 years ago I thought that an AT type3 was rare in the US, as I'd
been looking for one ( for my wife) for 2 years before I found one. With all
the discussion about cars that went to the Parma invasion, and some of them
being AT and now having a second one here I'm still thinking that they're
kinda rare in the US. When I show people that the car has AT, they can't
believe that it is a full automatic as most have only heard of the autostick,
and thats all they remember.

Well I guess I need to take some photos of that piece of linkage with the
kickdown switch now, seeing that it is kinda all by itself. I know it is
different than the MT linkage, as I've got 2 or 3 of them and its not the
same.
