The '73 we just bought is a 4 speed. Any opinions? Good or bad?
Thanks! |

The green 2.0 we just bought is a 4 speed. Besides gear pattern and lower rpm's at higher speed is there any benefit to a 4 speed vs 5 speed? Just looking for opinions.
Thanks! |

That little Type IV engine would really be a dog with a 4-speed.......the engine demands a 5-speed for half-way decent performance, but my 2.0 does fine with it - IMHO....
No, no manual tranny's made in 4-speed, as all have said...... GN The green 2.0 we just bought is a 4 speed. Besides gear pattern and lower rpm's at higher speed is there any benefit to a 4 speed vs 5 speed? Just looking for opinions. Thanks! |
