yup, transmission too

and hell yes, mileage will be much better. i'm pulling a CEL right now, not sue what it is, haven't had time to throw the code reader on it yet, but i'm guessing it's probably 02 sensor related.

just to ease y'alls mind, the big "toyota" forklift had fork extensions that reached well beyond the far framerail, so this was in no way unsafe.
