Randall, I'm the 58667.  I don't know enough to distinguish the transmission
housing.  I checked for a dipstick on the original tranny, but while I found
a round (flower edged sort of) knob, it twisted but didn't unscrew and
didn't pry easily up.  But I also have the steel door hinges which
supposedly didn't change until 60000.  Course, the number is so close to
58667, I don't know if it's significant.  What's the deal with the
transmission housing?
