Not to worry, I don't have flex fuel capability. It's one or the other for me.
I am coming to the realization that ethanol is better consumed by my car than it is by me. Can't get over how cheap it is, I mean the friggin 100 octane stuff at the track is almost $10 a gallon, my wife freaked about my $100 tank of gas.

So I got the broken transmission case off this morning, looks like 3 teeth missing from the gear on the input shaft. Actually it wouldn't be too difficult to repair, but it seems like the input shaft moved forward a little bit causing partial contact with counter gear. I think it's just positioned by a couple of bearing retainer clips. I will look at it more later and post a few pics.

Well yes, my labor is free to me. I don't think this would be my hobby if I had to pay someone to do everything to my car. Not only that, I don't like other people touching my car, at all, biannual inspection time sucks! However, if you want to hire me, you will be in for a big surprise, as competent, capable people, are practically priceless these days.
Now, if I can cyro cycle (I like this term better) my new input shaft and figure out a way to keep it from moving forward. I can run more timing and lay into the throttle with confidence. Ok, so I am dreaming a bit.

So what is up with this? Is this a misfire, or am I possibly stepping the clutch before I let off the throttle? Bad carburated rotary habbit
Tire slip?
I keep perceiving this as a misfire when going down the strip. Yes, I see the knock between gears, but from my experience below 84.8 at full throttle is not real knock for my specific build. Yes, I have some experience now

The blue motor is of the rx2&3 era and has a massive bridge port. So all years from early 70''s to late 90's, technically my FD stuff is JDM Cosmo stuff. I would need to look at the housings to see what exactly is there.
