I guess I can wait before I sell it... I will do just that.. 600 bucks will get me around a year's worth of fuel alright, with the ridiculous prices!

One more question, is the clutch the same on both trannys?

Thanks a bunch!

its not hard to put together... do it with the 4 speed, and see how it goes, if you can put up with it, then sell the 5 speed....

4-600 bucks will get you plenty of fuel

Cool!, it will fit.
But, how much fuel econony am I going to miss if I stick around with the 4 spd?

What would be a comfortable speed if I decide to drive on the freeway using this tranny?

And yes, I could really use thoses 4-600 bucks!!

Quote:

Would the 5-spd actually give better mileage if the car is mostly driven around town?

I have been thinking about doing this myself, but my car is driven almost exclusively on surface streets. I' not sure I would gain a lot of benefit other than lower rpm freeway driving.

You realize that you would get better fuel economy with the 5spd.

Although the $4-600 you will get from it on ebay would be good too!

yep straight on

Can I use my stock 4 speed tanny on my new A14 motor? I do have the 5 speed 60 series tranny, but I was thinking of selling it, since I could really use the money.
I am planning on driving the car around the city, and I won't race it or anything likr that.
I will get rid of the A12 motor and will be selling some parts off it like starter, air cleaner housing, valve cover,alternator, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
