Re: Nice jalopnik SVX article

I agree. 4:44 makes it much better , but the 5 speed changes the whole car. I can not imagine it with the 6 speed.

Why remove it? Better bolt access?

Re: Nice jalopnik SVX article

I only removed the snorkus to access the torque converter bolts, auto wiring harness plugs, and the dogbone.

EDIT:Also just noticed they copy/pasted NT's 5/6 speed swap write-up
