Subject:      SA 5 speed for Syncro's
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I have read all the 5 speed tranny posts for the last two years and am a
little confused.


From what I read, the first gear in the Syncro 4 speed,  and both the
European, and  SA  is the same at 4.11.  The only difference is the
push-down lockout on the Syncro version.


Is the difference in the ring and pinion for a Syncro what makes first
the "granny gear" in a Syncro.  What ring and pinion does a stock US
Syncro have?


If the goal is to have lower rpm at 70-75 mph with a Syncro what is
required??
Is tranny is in SA Syncro's.


In fact, ...is is possible to get a SA 2.6l engine and tranny
combination for a US Syncro??
(and somehow make it CA smog legal)
