Glad to have you on the list.  I'm feeling quite lonely myself with everyone
gone.  Guess I'm just going to have to pull my transmission today to keep me
busy.  Wait I'm serious, I really gotta go pull it today.  Anyways, MTX
stands for "Manual Transaxle" or a manual 5-speed transmission.  ATX is a
"Automatic Transaxle".

================

It seems to me that the "TX" is really unecessary, since ALL SHO's that I know
of have a transaxle of SOME kind, the only 2 possible variations being manual
(M) and automatic (A).  Wouldn't a simple M or A be just as useful? Gotta save
that bandwidth, ya know.

I think the mtx/atx business must have originated with the Abbreviations
Department at Ford, which has come up with some other questionable ones. How
about "koeo/koer"?  Well of COURSE you have to have the key on for EITHER
test!

Shutting down rant mode...
