Theres a local yard with prolly 10+d-series manual transmissions for $150 a piece, 3 of which are on z6's

P20 B000 ftw!
as soon as i get my 300 buck 92 coupe running, im going to throw on the P20 A000 CX tranny on. I drive 40 miles one way to work and the gas mileage ill save over the 4.0L jeep im driving will basically pay to have the engine rebuilt in about 2 months time. if you can pick up a si/ex tranny for a fair price, then do it. you will be happy

?? CX/VX in 5th on the highway = worse gas mileage from the engine being below it's powerband.

cx/vx transmissions should never be used period on any motor your trying to make power with. Scrap metal
