As for how the tranny came to be so clean, most of us would not have known that it was washed and painted or blasted with something and painted or if the chrome was stripped after the gold plating was removed :p grin
Thanks to the connection of the `Bolt we have people to fill in the unknown with knowledge of the transmissions history cool

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
