This is rather curious, and hopefully when the documents are 
digitized some additional insight on the wording and meaning of the 
telex can be obtained through careful review.

Records of the shipping manifests and warranty cards for '81 VINs 
seem to indicate that there were almost twice as many 5-speed manual 
transmission cars made for the '81 model year than there were 
automatics. The VIN listing that has been accumulated over the last 
10 years seems consistent with the '81 transmission mix being 
nowhere near 50/50.

The VIN survey information is available for review on the DMCNews 
web site for those that are curious.
