<VV> PG Question

[Geoff Johnson]

Knew I left something out of the description.  Mounts are a possibility but 
they are fairly new and have been replaced.  Checked them they dont seem to 
be it.  Feels like something in the tranny.  Not U-joints either.  Replaced 
them and repacked wheel bearings already.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long,
the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus
mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and
the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a
racecar.
