Toploader 4 speed VS FMX auto
What do you guys think i should do as far as gearing in my mustang? Put in a Toploader 4 speed tranny, and 3.80:1(or close) limited slip gears... Or Get a shift kit and 2500 stall in my FMX with some 3.25:1 limited slip rear end?
I love shifting manual transmissions but yeah in everyday driving and traffic autos can be less exhausting. Plus to me it kinda seems like when having a big heavy muscle car , autos are the best shifting choice. And in lighter smaller v8 muscle cars or other domestics, manual trannies work out much better. One of the things id love about having a toploader 4 speed or 5 speed, is theyre generally lighter weight than an auto, and if i have a 5 speed, i have more capability for better gas mileage... But i need some second oppinions cause i cant make up my mind hehehe. Thanks for your help.
