    in my world, that means its time to swap for something bigger and badder... missing v8 crossmember is always grounds for a t56 swap *evil laugh*

    i know, i was just comparing it to my own experience... i do have one piece of important info though... avoid any of the cheap universal linkage setups like the plague. theyre nothing but a headache in the long run
