I have an 86' Laser XT that is in excellent,untouched condition (cosmetically). I've installed a few mods and now I'm left with a difficult choice. The 3 speed auto kills my performance. I know Cindy and others sell a good 3 speed for around $1,500 (which I'm not afraid to pay). On the otherhand, my only hesitation to swapping out the tranny for a manual is the condition of the vehicle..... as the console and everything else is in excellent condition. Are the automatic consoles in these cars the same as a manual console? Can a shifter boot be installed where the gear selection indicator is located or do I have to swap out the whole console? I don't know if I'll ever find a manual console with the same features in this kind of condition (not worth it to me if this is how it is). I'm picky like that : ) Any opinions on the above is appreciated...manual vs. automatic...and/or console tips. Driving the car would definitely be more enjoyable with a manual, and it would be nice not to hear my engine screaming at 3300-3500 rpm at around 70mph. Thanks, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
