WOW!! Great job! Congratulations. Yes, my experience with the Loctite you used - you won't have to worry about it coming out again. What a great outcome for a great person!

Jferraro, beautiful car. I'm glad you got it fixed. I'd love to see a video walk around of your car. Do you have a website on the build? Stunning car!

Thanks for the comments guys. I need to get some video of the car running and post it here. As soon as I take some I will post it. The transaxle has been running perfectly since this fix. Having this group to raise the issue with was great. Thanks.

I have been driving it so much the extractors are turning from stainless steel silver to bronze in color!
