But it's in need of a tranny. with all the 5 & 6 speed conversions going on I figure somebody should have a good one laying around. if so lemme know.


Thanks, Dave

Still have the other V ? How you doing otherwise ? Some of your recent topics/posts were a little scary.

I'd think Danny should be able to source one easily! If not, PM me and I'll track one down for you.

Hey Dave, hope you're doing better now.

I'll give you mine if you were closer, some people had luck with their rebuild. Keep in mind, mine was running I just took it out for the sake of the 5sp.

That's the 3rd 5spd trans I've seen take a dump this year. Whack. I'll keep my eyes peeled for both auto and manual.

I said a million times, these 5sp were trash. I bought mine with the intentions of making it 5sp FWD which was the #1 most reliable set up EVER!!

Even with the rebuild, they don't seem to last long :(

edit..**5sp awd that is..

Yah, thats the thing. IF . . I was to do a swap I'd want to do a M66 to keep it AWD. but after turning wrench & working all day it's nice to just jump in & put it in Drive & point the car for home. altho I do still have my 97 855R for that. hmmmmmmmm


...........hmmmmmmmmmmm, Dave

The only Swap I'd be interested in doing would be a M66, tryinig to get Juan to parts list me a sheet & if your up to the task of helping, you may get a WHOLE lot of stuff painted if & when you need.


Thanks, Dave
