RE: push buttos

[Jim Ozolins <j_ozolins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see! That's interesting. Didn't notice that, and as a matter of fact, I 
remember trying to upshift really carefully so I that the lever wouldn't 
click up too far. Maybe my detents were buggered. Wouldn't have been the 
only thing on that car, that's for sure.

That 400 sure had a lot more grunt than my 273, that's for sure. Maybe 
there's a 440 in my future, or at least a 360 in my Valiant!
