    Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I ended up ordering an OE unit with the updated 77 connector parts to fix that up as well. Did Lunatics response get deleted? It had some good info in it...

    $830? Holy. Even if it didn't run it would be worth just staring at it for that price. Man, we get screwed up here in Canada on resale values.

    Hey rtrofimovich, I noticed the exact same thing. Engine runs great, upshifting and downshifting are smooth. Just if I pull the clutch in to coast or slow down. Kind of a 1 second shudder that I can...
