[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1717740, member: 14668"] The bigger problem was the transmission. It was a 4 speed with a compound low granny gear, so effectively you really only had 3 gears and they were spaced too far apart. Going up steep hills, for instance, you couldn't pull the hill in 3rd gear and 2nd was so low that you would be redlining the engine at about 18MPH. Those cars would have been much faster and more driveable with a 5 speed manual instead of the 4 speed. [/QUOTE]
