1-2 months? Surely you are kidding. :-)Originally Posted by jmitro
No need. The first 5 gears of the 6 speed are exactly the same. I have a 5 speed and a 3.73 or a 4.10, I am seriously looking at going to a 6 speed and a 4.45 as my only diff.
It's not speed that kills, it's the speed difference that does. Obviously you aren't going fast enough.

I read a list of the 100 things you MUST do before you die. Funny, "Yelling 'HELP'" didn't make the list!
I want to ride my bicycle
Nope.....work, family, and holidays, plus the car is completely gutted right now, undergoing some additional cage and interior work.
I said that mainly for those wondering why I have both. In reality I have no intention of swapping trannies, so I probably shouldn't have said that in the first place. An 8K redline with 3.91 diff and 5 spd will give me plenty of engine revs. edit..in your opinion, is the 5 spd US tranny strong enough to cope with the S50B32?

Do I have to delete myself? The S50B32 is now out, S54 going in. My 30k mile S50B32 is for sale for $4500. Ready to drop into an E30.
It's not speed that kills, it's the speed difference that does. Obviously you aren't going fast enough.
