    Was driving around on 10/25 and a GTO rolled up next to me and smarted off... So I thought psh, look at this guy. I "manually" down shifted to 2nd to avoid the stress of the down shift. Well the guy in front of me slowed down to turn so right after he turned I punched it. Shifted to first *Oh ****, thats hard on it... that felt funny*, car shifted to second *Ahh, ouch, felt funny* full boost 2nd gear *BANG!!!!* *Vrooom vroom, uhhh why am I not... oh ****!* and thats how my Input shaft broke.

    Nice "engine pull bracket" on the back of the motor Aaron... good thing I gave you access to mine so you can just shove a bolt in the head. :P

    LOL.. I had a leveler so the need for 4 points. I cut a stock lift bracket so it would work on one stud of the exhaust. Worked well.
