You should be an expert at removing and reinstalling the MT82 at this point. I hope this one lasts a bit longer than the last few.Well, within reason, I am happy today. The parts I ordered from Calimer more then cover the parts that died in my most recent dead MT82. Will do a full rebuild in any case to leave it in the best possible condition.

Finding the false knock probably caused this trannies early demise. The car pulled hard with its new "street:" race gas tune but the e85 swap was delayed because of the of the broken tranny. To get rid of the knock we had to make a small modification to the custom headers so it would not knock on the starter under load.

And.... We found a short 15mm wrench in the K brace.....

Though the starter motor is the more likely culprit.
