[DeTomaso] transaxle

[Ken Green]

I think there are spacer washers somewhere on the bolts that hold the plate on upper the ring and pinion.  My vague recollection is that if you take it apart, be very carful to save the washer and return them to their exact original locations.

  There is plate that comes off, but since the ZF is upside down, it
  still needs to come out.
  It's really not that hard, i can send you photos.
