[DML] Re: transmission failure

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is all very true but without knowing how the trans failed this is
just conjecture. It may also be possible that when he converted from
automatic to manual they did not machine the flywheel and install the
pilot bearing. I hope we do find out exactly what happened so we can
better figure out what caused it.
