If the Tech can't figure out how to operate the shifter, can't figure out how to take it on a test drive it or pull it in on the alignment rack, I usually take that as a sign I built a really good car.
Yeah I took the Duster to a local auto shop that I use for my daily drivers and asked them to do a full safety inspection. They went over the whole car checking nuts and bolts and looking for leaks and stuff like that. They also did a test drive. I asked the owner how the test drive went and he said the car seemed really peppy! I asked him if he figured out the shifter and he said he just left it in drive. I told him that it was a full manual automatic so he was just driving around in third the whole time. He said it drove just fine. Which is actually true. With 600 ft-lbs of torque, 3150 lbs and 4.56 gears out back it does drive just fine in 3rd. It doesn't really need a transmission for driving around town, just leave it in 3rd all the time.
