Dispatches from District 48

This is something I have long suspected. A short unexpected braking from one care propagates into a small traffic jam. Reminds me of waves propagating in a flowing fluid. Does traffic have a Reynolds number?

But this response from the from a user at the Club GTI forum is simply awesome. An excerpt:
They left the 3/4 sync hub pressed onto the input shaft, and captured by that would have to be 3rd gear, because 3rd isn't on the floor.
The selector detent bolt is missing as well.
They're short one roller bearing, unless it is in the case still.
They're missing the 13mm nut to hold the selector bracket to the selector assembly.
They show 12 of the 14 bolts used around the trans casing, missing the 2 shorter ones under the selector area.
5th gear circlip and washer are missing.
5th gear retention bolt and washer are missing.
They're short one 17mm drain/fill plug too.
etc. etc. This is exactly the guy I want in charge of the engine overhaul on the next aircraft I fly in.
