I have an 82' GSL and its an Automatic (aka slow). I ordered some racing beat headers and presilencers so up the speed and just did a fiero fan install... but man this car isnt fast with this tranny. 0-60 in like 14 seconds when doing good. 0-40 in 7 seconds, 40-60 in 9 seconds, thats where the stick comes into play. Im in WA, and have access to my schools awesome auto shop. Where would i begin looking for a tranny, and for everything hoe much do you think it would be?

 

geez, 1st gen transmissions are dirt cheap.. I once had nine of them laying around at various places. Just hit up a junkyard, it'll take 20 minutes to pull it, maybe.. or make them do it.. or just pick one up from a guy around here, I've got a spare laying in my garage even, and so does my buddy I believe (raptor13x)

 

i have 3 sitting in my garage

 

I got two laying around, 4 total, 1 with a 30-6 hole thru the side


Hey before you do the swap, do at least 50 redline neutral drops and tape it

 

change your gearing, my auto kicks ***

 

change my gearing? How do i do that?

 

change the gearing (rear end gears) AND do the manual swap...then you'll be good to go!
