Third time lucky.

Thanks for the clarification nevermind, much appreciated.

I have had poor luck with the transmission since I got my car. When I originally imported it, I discovered to my dismay, the car was stuck in third range all the time. Thought it was in get-u-home mode, but in fact the third gear was siezed. Having driven for months in three range, I sourced a '96 tranny, and put the internals from that one into my original tranny case.

Worked a treat for a few months, till the brake bands went and left me with only 1 and 3 gears this time. Recently had the box remanufactured, so now I have all four forwards again. I feel with my run of luck the same as you did; nothing to lose.

If there is not much difference in price or the +3 is unobtainable, I will probably use Redline. I have yet to see a post here or on Yahoo! that has a negative story about it's use. That's good enough for me.
