5 speed trans conversion

I guess we all have reasons....


1) I already have a project: converting my 5 VR4 (380hp) to 6 speed

2) My SVX is a year round commuter and with lots of city miles, I love the automatic...I REALLY LOVE THE 4eat!!!!!

3) While the SVX is a performance/luxury car, I can't understand autocrossing it, drag racing it, twin turboing it etcetera. The net seems to be a badly worn transmission, brakes et al. It just wasn't meant for that sruff and the wear/breakages seem to back that up (sorry) but bottom line, its your $$$

4) After reading hundreds of threads, I seem to see lots of folks who were able to buy a very sophisticated car for low $$$ and don't seem to have the money to do any/all the upgrades including wheels/tires and the 5 speed and also the necessary routine maintenance either: I am sure this offends some of you but you should read the many replies I got for my transmission package and wheels and tires that I have for sale: : cheap, cheap, cheap

Anyway, upgrade and modify to your hearts content; its still great fun
