Re: Emissions test and Transmission damage?

["Dave Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

There are stories like this here in Illinios back when the testing 
first started (IL uses a roller test). These were not specific to the 
DMC. The operator made some grievous error - like putting the wrong 
end of the car on the rollers. For this reason they can't test full-
time 4WD cars for example. Just keep an eye on what they are doing. 

Actually the more common stories are clutch problems since driving a 
manual is such a lost art. 

If your state does not do a roller test, there should be no danger. 
Again, feel free to watch the operator and make sure they know what 
they are doing. 

BTW - in Illinois they CANNOT do the gas cap test. The DMC cap won't 
fit the test fixture.
