Hi,
Have you had the pleasure of replacing the front shifter bushings on a Eurovan? 1993 with a sideways 5 cylinder, stick shift. If so...HOW? I am challenged with how to get my fat ass hands in there. I am starting to think about dropping the motor... Cant get there from above...cant get there from below. If there is an easier way, please enlighten me. Rich |

I try to stick to the air cooled Porsches as much as possible. They don't gut you. VW's and BMW's will have you leaving entrails all over the shop floor. Vultures will come in and clean it up later like an African Savannah kill site.
You won't care because you will be a drooling mental case by that time just from trying to figure out who in the hell could have thought that they designed it properly. |
