3 Speed to 4 speed?

Gearhead999 · 10-30-2005, 06:37 AM

Not to pick on your car, but why spend the money on a 4 speed change on a 6 cyl. car?? I don't see where your advantage would be, unless you just want a 4 speed, which I understand fully.

Now is you were going to install a V-8....then a 4 speed would be advantages to get the power to the ground.

Take care

I am not really interested in changing to a V8. I kind of like the 170 cid. I just want to close the gear ratios a little. It is a big jump from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd is real close. I will leave it alone if it is not really worth the work.
I do prefer a 4speed.

Thanks for everyone's insight.
