I found a 96+ Firefly sedan in town here, 4 cyl with 250k kms on it. The wrecker wants 175$+tax for the transmission. Just not sure if it'll bolt up? Or what the final drive would be in it?
I also found another one sitting on a shelf with 160k kms, off a 93 swift 1.3L SOHC for 150$, but no shifter linkage or torsion bar to go along with. That would fit though eh? From what I've read in other posts at least..sorry if I'm doubling questions here..just nervous when it comes to buying a used transmission.
Are they're any known issues with compatibility of axles and clutches when swapping these tranny's?
The wife filled up again today and eagerly called back with numbers. She got 351km(with correction) on 21.4L of fuel..which works out to 39 US MPG. Thats at an avg temperature of 5C and her humming along at 110-115kph with the taller 13" tires (185).
So my plan is still to pick up a 3.52 final drive tranny, and an econocam..also a block heater for the winter months. I priced out a econocam. 185$ shipped from 3tech and 128.50$ shipped from DeltaCam, sans sprocket mod...
Let me know your thoughts folks
Thanks,
Ken
