Tin-Man, Hang in there and sorry to hear of the disappointment.
I brought mine home and after driving it for a few hours & parking it on our freshly poured exposed aggregate driveway, I noticed an
oil puddle the size of a basketball. I was thinking the worse! After pin pointing the problem and cleaning the
oil soaked under carriage, the guys at Performance Engineering in Ross, OH forgot to put the "O" ring in the speedometer cable.
So keep the faith! Hopefully yours will be an easy fix because it sure will be worth it when it's all said and done. Good Luck & can't wait to hear the outcome.
