Just what ( Later model ) Standard 5 Spd Transmission will fit right it the 1980 that shifts and works Best / Excellent ? Just How much Better is it ? a Little or a lot ?
will it hook right up to all the 1980 shift linkage ? or must changes be made to swap in a better Transmission or would you swap the whole Transaxel as a unit .
Thanks if you Know ?
My Guess is a 1986 or 1986 .5 and up ?? or am I on the wrong track here ?

My Impression of the 1980 5 Spd is that it's a very poor Unit > Kind of like a 60's MGB 4 speed However the Motor is very Good > too bad they dropped the ball on the Transmission .
Time out or Punt ?

Certainly one of the 928 5 Spd's should work Excellent and fit in ? But just what's involved ? Simple or hard ?

Thanks in advance Danglerb < anyone >
