Re: Tranny possibilities

i on the other hand would actually prefer a 5 speed. I just look at 6th gear as a whole new opportunity for speeding tickets that i reeally dont need.

Re: Tranny possibilities

Mine just helps with gas mileage. It's nowhere near a power gear for speeding. At 75 in 6th I'm just barely above idle at like 1200r's.

And that is exactly what I'm looking for; yes, it is another gear for speed, but on the other hand, I would like my car to (when needed) give up it's down-and-dirty personality and be pretty darned efficient

Matt...U can put a Autometer 5" electric speedo in place of your mechanical one.Takes some modification and a steady hand to cut your cluster bezel a little wider. Ill send you a picture of mine that I just did.
