Because they like to do things the hard-way and enjoy extra steps? - Mike2kS4@PEB 2005-11-29 18:43:52 (466 views)

You want extra steps? You should try it this way. - RocketBoy 2005-11-29 19:12:23 (544 views)

Yeah, I don't see the advantage... - FixedWing 2005-11-29 18:52:46 (363 views)

Knowing the slave is basically on top of the transmission(to the drivers side) would have helped - MNblackS4 2005-11-29 18:24:22 (355 views)
