one more BIG thing:

the Sorento is consistently listed as also running the AW 03-72LE tranny, it is heavier and has more HP and torque. maybe the auto tranny from it is the same as the Volvo 23-spline unit. still have to run a different t-case, though, as the Sorento's front output is on the driver's side. that would be fine and dandy had i not already searched so long and hard for a passenger side d44..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
