This 3-speed trans is gonna have to go...

Now then..stop bashing me. Ie


i don't understand what the hell you want, here

there are no magic wands, and if there were, Id be waving it at my car

it "is what it is." you have a choice. learn to drive it as is, and get it as optimal as you can

install a different transmission

or get a different car.

this idea of "then and now" is BS. these transmissions, if they are IN PROPER working order, operate the exact same way right now in 2015, as they did in 75, 65, 55, 45, or ??

when I was young WE DID drive with no AC even though I don't know why you are bringing this up???????

WE DID drive with the windows down, with no cellphones ???? and with stick shift 3 speed gearboxes. i'm old enough that my cousins and I drove an early 50's Ford 1/2 ton WITH NO syncro gears, otherwise known as a "crashbox." You double clutch in and out of ALL 4 gears if moving.
