Craig,

I too would like a quick and easy headlight upgrade. Listees - Help.

What I can comment on is the auto tranny. My 91 Carat has 173,000 miles on it. The auto tranny is bullet proof. The only maintenance that I have ever performed is fluid change at 60,000 mile intervals (it is due soon for its next fluid change). It shifts like new. From list posts I believe that the auto tranny is more reliable than the manual.

I would recommend the auto tranny to anyone without reservation.

Good luck and drive safely,

Dennis Lockwood 91 Carat Original Owner
