5-speed or 6-speed?

I just bought a 91 LX. It has a 3-speed with over drive, and I can't stand it after only a week. So, I am going manual. I want to do more street racing than drag. Thanx

street racing is bad, mmmmmmkay?

Just get a junkyard 5 speed - spend enough time at the street races and the chances are that you'll either get your car impounded or you'll crash, so don't spend a lot on it.

Do a junkyard T5 swap. I switch between mine & I'm not sure which one I like more. If I have the 5spd in for a while I miss the c4 if I have the c4 in for a while I miss the 5spd. A built C4 can be pretty fun.

RE: 5-speed or 6-speed?

i did a t-5 swap and i've never looked back the car is a beast now. i went the junkyard route and saved lots. a 6-speed is cool but why do you need that if your street racing?
