No driveshaft in our new toy. Also what manual transmission (prefer 4-speed) should we look for that will fit well with the stock driveline?
Thanks,

Now would be a good time to put a T-5 five speed with o,drive in it & have a drive shaft made up for it. The tech tips has a good coverage on this & there have been many posts. You can do a search & get plenty of info.
