Enough Searching For The Half Ass Posts.!! Lets Make This The Official One With All The Right Facts And Info!!
I Just Had My Car Ready For The Track And The 3rd Tranny Blew!!
Now I'm Not Nice To My Trannys And They Were All Used So I Don't Want You To Think It Was Some 1,200 Dollar Trannys Getting Ruined.
I Want To Try A 6 Spd. I Know Its Gonna Be A Bit Pricey But The Real Question Is... Will It Work??
It May Be A Little Slower, It May Be Inconsistant, But It Will Be Fun!
Now, I Believe That The Car Will Work With A Manual Tranny Using A Blow Off Valve To Keep The Turbo Spooled.. And To Drag Race You Will Most Likely Need A 2 Step To Spool The Turbo. Now My Question Is How About The Gear Ratio's? The Auto Will For The Most Part Keep The Car Closer To Its Powerband Through Shifts, But Will The Slightly Widespread Gear Ratio's In A 6 Speed Affect The Performance That Much. And Will It Be Affected Because These Motors Don't Rev High???
The Mechanical Aspect Of The Install Is Simple. Bpo 4 Spd Bell Housing, Manual Clutch Setup, G-body Pedals, Slightly Modified Crossmember, Etc..
Once Again, Will It Work And Will It Be Worth It?? Will The Performance Of The Car Be Affected That Much On The Track. Will The Street Performance And Enjoyability Be Improved Enough To Overcome The Slight Performance Issue If Any???
