  OFFICE MEMO          Shifting thoughts                      Date:11/21/93
I have a blackC, '93, 4000mi and am wondering about the breakin time for the
shifter. It is less stiff, especially 1-2, but still clicks/resists a bit on
shifting up. I wonder if this is "normal" and whether I might expect the shift
to become smoother with time and when in other's experiences. When I test drove
the car with the salesman, he was showing off the car's  power and missed a
shift, 4<3, and had bit of grinding of gears. Is gear grinding something to
worry about in the long term? 
Finally, does anyone have experiences with tonneau covers - such as, can I
install the attachement points myself, is the Mazda tonneau of good quality
etc.?
