I love it when the ghost in the machine just goes away... me I spent a big part of the day in Cali SMOG hell... since when does a tech refuse to test a vehicle because "the clutch is bad"? It is not bad. I moved the car for him. So he says it was hard to get into gear. What?!

The SUCCESS is that I got four more good recommendations of places to go from friends, including one for a"a guy" who'll "set me up" whatever that means...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
