Lock up your daughters. Ron gets a 5 speed!

[Ron Mummert]

PROLOGUE:

Contrary to the majority of you guys/gals in here, I have always felt that the SVX SHOULD be an automatic in keeping with the GT cruiser/luxo/yuppie image it was created to portray. Also shear laziness on behalf of certain members of certain ages in here would dictate that an automatic definately has place in society. Were my trusty SVX slushbox to actually disintegrate one day, it will definately be replaced by another automatic, even if I have to buy a used Legacy box from Somewhat-Honest Randy's Slightly Used Parts Store.

HOWEVER:

Every now & then one must grasp at the final vestiges of ever fading youth. Yeah - that's the ticket.

For the grand total of one hundred dollars, I bought a five speed tranny! The catch is it's attached to a '93 Nissan (forgive me, Lawd), 240SX. I won't bore you (yet) with how this came to be, only that the car has 228,000 miles on it, needs a few hundred bucks in repairs, & is painted Laguna (Nissan's version) blue & has one tiny door ding. This rear wheel drive thing hauls ass! (Oops, I mean exhibits spirited acceleration & positive handling characteristics).
This car shall be referred to henceforth as "THE EVIL HALF-BROTHER"
More later unless I'm voted off the island.

Ron (now more than half Japanese).
