Or you can look for a tranny with different gearing and just swap the entire thing in a day or less.
Agreed. I have a little over 286,000 on the current engine, and when it finally croaks, I'll be upgrading it to a newer (OBDII) engine and transmission, and can find the best ratios then. Still, it'd be nice if all manufacturers made it easy to swap 5th like Saturn did.
