G35 Coupe Aluminum Pedal Install

I purchased the Infiniti aluminum pedal set from Grubbs Infiniti in Dallas over the phone from Danny our FX45 salesmen. I believe Danny said these pedals are the ones used in the FX45. After examining them, I think he's probably right because the dead pedal is narrower and sits up higher than either the standard G35 plastic dead pedal or the Nissan 350Z dead pedal. The brake and gas pedals look the same.
Parts
All of the parts in their respective plastic bags with part numbers. These are for the 5AT. For the 6MT the clutch and brake pedals are different. Total price ~$80 shipped.

Chrysler 41TE (A-604) Piston Housing Now Included in TransTec Kits

TransTec rebuild kits for the Chrysler 41TE (A-604) now contain the low/ reverse piston housing. This housing is stamped steel and is susceptible to distortion, especially around the screw holes. Therefore, the housing should always be replaced during a rebuild. In fact, ATRA recommends using a new housing in their recent technical bulletin #231.

2007 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

2007 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
An engine that is not running does not need any fuel. This truism helps the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to save fuel and thereby reduce its environmental impact. If the vehicle is stationary with the engine idling and the transmission in neutral for more than three seconds, the engine is automatically switched off. As soon as the driver depresses the clutch pedal again, the engine re-starts. The potential for saving fuel is considerable: in some cases, depending on application and traffic density, drivers managed to cut their fuel consumption by as much as 20%. On average, the amount saved will probably be somewhere between five and eight percent. The system performs to best advantage in urban use involving frequent stops in traffic queues or at traffic lights.

Some vehicles (mazda rx-8) may experience difficulty starting (cranks no start). This may occur after driving the vehicle a

it to wash it, engine stall due to mis-application of clutch then restart. This commonly occurs at port facilities or
dealer lots where vehicles are frequently started cold, moved for short distances and then turned off. This concern may also occur due to low cranking RPM during engine starting.
