That is correct, that is why MB trannies shift more firm and last longer.

Actually an on-target rant, Larry. In your earlier post you mentioned the
elderly driver problem-that is a tough one. In our family an elderly family
member hit two motorcycles at once; State of NC gave him an eye test and

I don't know if I would carry a tie-rod fixer or not. Seems like when
one breaks, hooking it back together is the least of your concerns. Like
maybe getting a tow truck to drag you out of the ditch, or to pry the
