Mark,
When are your heading to the coast? Did you make the family camping trip last weekend?
I've got the transaxle out of the minivan.
The rebuild kit should be in tomorrow. I should be up and running in a few days unless I have to order some unexpected parts.
Talk to you soon.

The south Jetty at newport is pretty good we always catch at least one fish when we go over there, some kids out at the end last weekend caught about 16 sea bass but we didnt feel like walking out that far. Use fresh dug sand shrimp a 2 or 3 oz weightdepending on your pole and some good line that can stand a beating on the rocks, the bass worm hooks they have at fred meyer work real good because the barbs by the eye of the hook hold the shrimp on better 1/0 or 2/0 will work fine, only cast out past the last rock you can see (about 20 feet) and you will be into some fish in no time, you usually catch a couple of crabs also last weekend we caught some females that were at least 6 or 7 inches across. email me for more info
