WARNING!

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

David,

Concerning the following statement on your "stall speed test":

"release accelerator pedal smoothly ( don't hold to floor for more
than 20 seconds)"

I did some research on this test and wanted to let you and any other
Delorean owners who consider conducting this test that according to the
"Auto Service and Repair Manual" published by Goodheart-Willcox Co.
indicates the following:

"When stall testing, never keep the accelerator pedal in the full throttle
position for longer than five seconds. To do so will seriously overheat the
transmission."
