The guarantee is good until you get it off the parking lot.  I think the value is in whether someone wants a 5 speed or not. Some may not want a 5 speed, so it would not be a selling point.

i once read a post where you mentioned someone considering a manual transmission conversion from this shop should send you a PM. is this the reason? i always thought that if and when the slushbox failed on the claret, i would take it to them. hmmm.
ps - i've put 38k miles since on this car since i bought it without knowing anything of its past and haven't experienced so much as a single flare. but now that i've said something, it will probably fail on me tomorrow.
pps - i do, however, pray to the tranny gods every night.
