Surprised at that, the old Shadow turbo 91 that the family used to own was a 4sp. Sadly I actually got better milage with the 90 Acclaim 3.0L v-6 that I regularly got 35 mpg and peaked at 41mpg with it.
Do a little digging, finding the old Getrag 5sp manual is not hard for them, a good trans, just the install will take a bit to run everything right. Or do a little digging into other transmissions, you just may find something interesting.
