i think im settling on the fact that this is just how the Honda gearbox drives -- theres nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just not as fast as my GMC one was, which is really all i have to compare it with -- a whole lot of GMC ones.

and i meant helms, but i get them confused, especially in the morning. I had other things on my mind today than impressing the nitwits on the webboard :fawk:
