hitch on it for my utility trailer.  Anyone know which one is better
for this type car.  
Thanks,

My heated seats work but they do not seem to get particularly hot.
Is the temp that they get too pre-set or is there any way it can be
adjusted.??

I have an 86 740 non turbo with 330,000 miles.  It's in good shape, but is
sneaking up on it's third tranny (rebuild).  Wife's mother wants to give us

I'm looking to do the simple transmission flush, just removing the bolt on
the bottom. Once that's drained how many quarts do I need to put back in? I
was told 4 by the mechanic.
