RE: 4-banger transmission
I ran one for about a year and hated every minute of it.
First you have to have the 4 Banger yolk for the driveshaft so it doesn't leak the fluid out.
Second the gearing is so different. V8 T-5 2nd gear=80-85 MPH 4cylinder one 2nd gear=50-55 MPH at redline.
It had more torgue but reved up so fast and had to change gears so fast it was hard top race.

and as far as the 4 banger trans.. if you're going for a daily driver car -- its good, and i've also heard good things... however, you seem to think you've got a good amount of power... do you have any numbers for your car? hp/tq?? if you've got a lotta power, i'd advise against a 4banger trans..
