What owners wrote

Man-tran 5sp: reverse gear goes out; does not move in reverse; 4 times within 1 year; excessive effort; nearly caused accident; one occasion, heard loud noise.

March 1994

Blown head gaskets and cracked aluminum heads. Found that replacing thermostat 15 degrees cooler ie(195 factory change to 108 degree) works much better. Also never use 50/50 or water with aluminum heads.
