Re: My 5speed Conversion is Done!

Are we talking manual or auto here?

Has anyone here had any issues with the 5spd manual transmissions? I hang out with a lot of STi guys and they hate the 5 speed and claim that the gears are weak and prone to failure - at the same time they love the 6 speed manual trannys, saying those are rock solid.

Considering all the stop-n-go I do on a daily basis.. I don't think putting a manual tranny in my SVX makes sense... I would love to get one of the 2nd gen 5spd electronically controlled automatic transmissions they put in the 08 Tribecas
