re: GTV6 Transaxle Bumpstop

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never seen a spec, and if there is one, I don't think it's a big 
deal.  As long as your rear giubo doesn't hit the floor under heavy 
acceleration, you're fine.  I generally set mine as close to the 
transaxle as I can get it without them touching.
