I remember being angry at the time :evil: If its going to break it will break on my terms!! not on some :r pothole...only kidding I would have far more respect for the FTO :)
I had the Mirage for 7 years of abuse and I just couldn't kill it.
Apart from the regular service, all I did was change the plugleads and thats only because it was starting to miss in damp weather!

One guy rev the car and the other get under. You should notice a wobble in the shaft if it is bent. You may well notice something elser while you are under there.

Make sure it is supported well
