Just a point here. The next millennium does not start at year ten of this decade (2000 A.C.E.) but on Jan. 1, 2001 regardless of what you might have heard from well meaning but uninformed people. Remember that there was no year zero- we went straight from 1 B.C.E. to 1 A.C.E. So the first year went from Jan 1, 1 A.C.E. to Jan 1, 2 A.C.E. The year might have said '2' but it was actually only 1 year and 1 day. Its like saying $1.01 is the same as $2.00. Think about it for a while. You'll see it make sense even though the media inundates you with Y2K as being the starting point. I guess it sounds more snazzy than Y2.001K.

Back to transaxles here.

PS- Still not convinced? I've got this gearbox here that I'll sell you for $901.00. Just give me a $1000 and we'll call it even!
