I may be interested in the tranny, if it is manual and in a good shape.

sorry thats what i bought it for, mines a bit crunchy so thought ide change it

No problem. I read somewhere the probe tranny has a higher final drive ratio, it seems to be about 10%. My tranny so far has been holding well, but the 10% lower revs are definitely good for cruising, that's the reason I am interested.

Just curious, if you know more, would you mind sharing what you know?

ive heard that its a different ratio as well, i prefer lower revs, i know it would be a bit slower acceleration but surely would make it better on fuel on a run, when i change it im putting on an mx3 fly wheel that i have, be lower revs and should still be good acceleration
