Do it, you won't regret it.

Most of the clones trans swap in directly.
Don't do what I did though.
If you get a trans from a Swift you need to get the shift torque rod and related parts as well.
Lest you be cutting and welding like me and Coyote.
I highly recommend the swap though.
My trans swap (and a few related things) has put me in the 60's for a couple of tanks.
I loose it when I am all highway.
I am still trying to figure that out.
Someone (MetroMPG ?) said that is because in the city I turn it off at lights and do a lot more EOC than on the highway.
Hence better MPG. As far as ratios you have to go to CoyoteX thread and he has all that info there.
