FB 5speed Trans into an SA22C?
Hey, thinking about putting a 5 speed 82 FB transmission in my SA, which has a 4speed. How hard is it to do? Much modding to do? and mainly is it worth it?

well was thinking more like a togue racer setup, the whole Stock engine and power but handles well, Somthing that easy to control.(means i gota get rid of wonder steer) Figured the ratios would better suit the application. Are the gears the same?
one of the other reasons wanted to swap is that that shifter in it now feels like a large heavy stick. I want to get somthing shorter and mounted closer to me. more like an fb. A friend told me to get it like in an fb, had to use fb tranny. is this true? would rather stick with stock 4 speed but would it suit me in the drift/touge racing area?

ahh, well i can live with out 5th and the shifter position(though I still might do it)
Is there anything I can do about making my shifter shorter? or atleast make it feel less like a big stick?

after a certain build date (wheres peejay?) you can put the 80 tailshaft housing onto the fb trans and it will go right back in the car like stock

Doesn't say what build #s differentiate. It seems like I've seen that information before, though.

Get a TII tranny with driveshaft. Then if you decide to go turbo, it won't be much of a pain, cause you can just swap a 13B in later. (and if you decide to turbo it you might as well swap the drivetrain)My 2 cents
