The big upgrade is finally done! Or at least installed in the car. So i upgraded from the m22 4 speed and went to a tkx 5 speed. The 4 speed was fun but with the 3.73 rear gears it felt like i was abusing the motor to drive it over 60. So the 4 gears had to go. Came really close to going with a 6 speed but couldn't bring myself to destroy the floor with the massive cut out it would need. Went away and did the hydraulic clutch as well as the heavy duty cross member. Overall the install went smoothly. I did have to swap out the bellhousing dowl pins for some off set ones after taking all the measurements but that was probably the hardest part. The transmission slid right into place. I still need to measure and order the new driveshaft before its ready to drive. Can't wait to take this car down the road again!
