Yeah, but you know, ignorance is bliss... :-) I was actually
MORE paranoid about driving it, now that I've fondled all the
goodies and can easily picture each one's failure mode.

I also had to re-learn it a bit. It's an odd drive to begin with,
and now the trans, clutch etc are all different. The clutch
is much more grippy, and I stalled it twice (revs too low,
used to be OK :-)

I don't miss the shudders though. Bad motor mounts fixed.

Today it gets highway miles, 45 mi to work on the 405.
