[alfa] Re:Transmission question

[C2slayman@xxxxxxx]

AJ,
       Is your transmission popping out of reverse because it is interfering
with the console/boot?  That's a typical problem and is not the fault of the
transmission internals.  It's because the motor or transmission mounts
are shot (or the console is misaligned - sometimes, rarely, the gearshift 
too).  
       Put the car in reverse and check
to see if you have plenty of clearance between the boot and console.  If
they are rubbing, that's your problem.

Cheers,
Charlie
