West Coast Fiero 5 and 6-Speed Trans on a W-Body?


Recommended Posts

I'd save up for one of those if it'll fit my 3.8 Regal ... but can they fit, since they were designed for Fieros?

This is where I feel that unless you have a car that's say, 1997 or newer and doesn't happen to be a W-body, it's not worth the humongus price tag.

unless it is a tricked out V8 powered Fiero ;)

Those are Acura NSX trannies (look at the gear ratios and you'll agree)...................hence the large pricetag.

if it bolts to a fiero engine, it bolts to ours. Its another matter entirely whether or not it would fit into a w body. It would be cool, but expensive and unnesescary. The only reason you would need a 6 speed is if you have an engine with a really narrow powerband in the upper rpm range (dohc 4 bangerz ex. s2000, rsx). most of our engines (except maybe lq1) have most of the power down low. example: the older porsches used to come with a 4 speed manual. When everyone started going to 5 speeds, they did too more for marketing than for performance. The 5 speed ones were actually slower. Some of the fastest drag cars are 2 or 3 speeds.

I don't care for the 6-speed, it's only the 5-speed that I'd want to put in my W-Body, a 6-Speed is a waste of time and money. (Although It would be hellafun ). :twisted:

Oh well, I'll just stick with the L67 Swap and the 4t65-e HD Tranny then ... :skep:

Then turbo the hell out of it ... :devil:
