Re: [DML] Headlight Conversion / Automatic Transmissions?

[Mark Valuch <dmcvin6683@xxxx>]

I drive my car to work in the summer 28 miles one way in stop and go 
traffic and it is a 5 speed and no problems here. Maybe there was a 
clutch or transmission problem with that car.

When the Delorean is moving it is a very easy car to steer, when it is 
stopped it is a little harder but you will get used to it.
