[Shotimes] Need Advice Quick... SHO or SLO

[Ian Fisher]

Jason
Is the trans in the gen4 different than the gen3 SLO
and SHO? I don't know too much about the gen3/4
trannys.

Good point on the gen4. I'd consider owning one if I
were looking for a newer and somewhat cheap automatic
(which I'm not but...) =)
