Don't know anything about these nor do I know if it's even worth my time to fix. It's supposedly running good other than the shifter (5spd) is getting difficult to put into gear. Worse case scenario I gut it and beat it up at some local autocross events <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />If anyone knows anything about these, please chime in. It's a 1996 non-turbo, non-awd model.
