Its a good time to reseal the fuel tank. Check the CV joints, shift linkage and engine/trans mounts _________________ Casey--

- replace engine and trans mounts.
- clean and reseal gas tank.
- preventively replace the gas cable once the gas tank is out, it's hard to replace because it runs up over the gas tank and down to the engine.
- run heat shield wrapping on the exhaust crossover that runs under the trans to reduce heat on the trans. |
