- On the Eagle/Plymouth/Mitsus mentioned orignally, I don't see there
- being a serious difference in labor becuase of the number of wheels
- driven. I've changed the belt in an MR2, 2 Rabbits, and a 72 Datsun
- 510 (well, that one had a chain). The belt doesn't have anything to
- do with transmissions. Maybe on the Celica Alltrac there's stuff
- nestled around the belt making it harder (seems reasonable, esp the
- way Toyota packs its engine compartments). I don't think the 4wd (or
- AWD, whatever is PC these days) should change the timing belt
- placement. Perhpas b/c of the turbo engine available on the 4wd
- models its harder?
