Geeeeez.... when was the last time you saw a FF1 or 360, not to mention a herd of them that would make it feasible to spend the money on training and support? I've worked on them, even owned an FF1, but it wasn't yesterday - more like 25-30 years ago.

Think about it, cars aren't designed and built with the intention that they should survive seven years or 150k and that includes the models sold with 10/100 warranties. What future would there be in that for the factories and dealers? Personally, I don't want to work on anything over ten years old. No, i don't make money on parts, just on labor and there's plenty of opportunity for that on older cars. But between the owners hedging cost vs worth and having 10+ years of oil leaks, dirt, salt and DIY 'repairs' on the car what would you do?

Of course they don't know what trans will fit, only somone that has tried and shared the info will know. Don't get all uppity, until Huck invested the effort nobody else knew for sure.
