Yes sir, it's an automatic and as much as I love the way it handles....I can't get used to it.

I've owned other turbo cars before and I hate the spooling on this thing on the auto, and unless I hold a gear or keep it on a lower gear on the gear shift I don't come close to spooling the 2nd turbo (which comes on at 4.2k in my case).

Too new to rotaries to do a tranny swap which I have in the garage. Only the 5-speed tranny, nothing else yet.

Didn't post it on the forum cause no one knows me here and I doubt anyone wants an auto!

Auto's are great candidates for LS swaps as the 3.90 rear end is better for the torque the LS1 makes. I swapped my auto FD back in the day. It's a night and day difference. For someone who's not afraid to do the work it's not that bad!

Funny thing i just bought that car as a project car.. Its currently sitting in my garage with the front right suspension torn out of it cuz its wheel bearings were shot and the only thing keeping the wheel on was the brakes...

I really hope ur the guy before the PO who did all the work to this car cuz boy do i have some questions.
