Default tranny swap or Forced induction?

If I get the tranny swap, do any of you guys/girls know where I can purchase the 5spd tranny from?

Are you asking whether you should get fi or a tranny swap? If so, why are you asking this?

Swap the tranny first and learn how to drive.

If you go FI and you are going to blow the tranny anyways.

i agree on learning if you dont but if you have your moms car and ITS 5 spd then go for it. Blowing the Auto tranny isnt all true. Ive put turbo kits on Automatic hondas and the tranny's live up to the task. You could try going to a different stall on the torque converter.

If you just dont want to go through the hassle and you are in doubt then just buy a 5 spd and work from there.

Theres nothing like FI (the dark side sucks you in)

g luck
