It was funny to find that out. Probably not so funny to the people that spent $$$ to get the transmission. I thought we had a chance at it because Grover went down on day 2 with transmission issues. The teeth on 3rd gear broke, so Manny pulled out 3rd gear pack, replaced it with a spacer fabricated out of spare rollbar tubing. Slapped it all back together and sent the driver out with 4 out of 5 gears.
