Hi All,

Since MetroMPG's topic dealing with the transmission swap is long dead and I did not find any other relevant topic I thought I will start one here.

I decided to follow MetroMPG and replace the tranny of my '98 SuzukiSwift 1.0i to the swift 1.3.

Just to make sure. Will it fit? Both vehicles were produced in Hungary, mine is 98, the donor car is 97. Were there any differences I could come accross? If so, is there any way to identify the gerabox to decide whether it will fit or not?

And some info about the car:
Bought it as a cheap go-around. Without aero mods my record was about 4.9l/100km so far. Only careful driving and tires on 40psi.

I have an OEM wing on the car, at the edge of the tailgate. Not too high... I have no idea if that helps or not, removing it is probably tricky, it's some glue which holds it. (I guess it was fitted by a specialist. Bought it that way)

Next week I'll get LPG system installed on it. the reason: Fuel here in Europe is awfully expensive. Where I live (kinda cheap compared to the rest of the countries...) we pay around the 1.86USD for a litre of 95 octane normal gas.
On the other hand, this country has huge gas reserves and like 40% of the personal cars are running on LPG, which is abot half price.

Is there anyone having expreience with the GEOMetro / Swift on LPG? Will I have the torque so I can cruise in the higher 5th gear with the speed of 80-90km/h?

Thanks in advance. The LPG installation will be done next week and if so, the tranny swap at the end of April, so I'll provide results then. Sorry, no sophisticated economy meter like ScanGauge, but I'll be able to give you a reading between fill-ups.

Zoltan
