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,
