Post #210,006 by Ashton 6/6/05 5:52:34 AM Reply	'96 Nissan Altima Dunno re '96 - but I destroyed {!!} a '93, when test driving it re friend's eventual '93 Integra purchase. That is, with salesdroid along -- went just a tad too fast over some speed bumps. When we got back: xmission fluid a dripping. ie it has no SKID PLATE! (as did my Saab and does my Acura Vigor). You might want to see where your trans drain plug, etc. hangs down beneath (?) Just a thought, Ashton Destroyer of hanging-down bits, for the Common Good.
