Hello everyone,
I am pleased to say that my newly acquired stock 914-6 transaxle is in the capable hands of the good Dr. Evil for rebuilding. My car will not be raced or auto-crossed; just street driven. It will end up with a stock 3.2 with Motronic and 205X55X15 tires. The good doctor has recommended: A, Ga, Q, X and fH gears. (I hope I got that right because it's greek to me.) I am inclined to go with that recommendation. Then this morning I thought I might as well post here and see what you all have to say. For those of you who own or have owned a six with a stock 3.2, I am curious what thoughts you might have or if you too believe the above recommendation "hits the nail on the head". I trust the Doc, but of course was curious about real world experience driving that combination with a 3.2. I am looking for a nice street box that does not have me spinning 3,500 RPM at 70. Close ratios would be nice with a tall 5th. Thanks in advance for your comments, suggestions, etc. Michael |
