    depends on the probe, and what trans you are swapping the 5th gear into. going into a G-series? and is it a non-turbo 1st get probe? if its not a 1st gen its the same gear as in your stock G-series.

      For the G series is the 626 5th gear that everyone goes for. I put one in my trans. Its .71 and the capri 5th is .8

          the size of the nuts holding the 5th gears in my Probe V6 tranny is 27mm & 32mm (i've taken apart many G series tranny's now :lol

          Although my spare tranny's nuts are both 32mm, i'm not sure why the difference between my two tranny's, but if you bring both size sockets you'll be prepared

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                    Turbo cars have a h series trans you need a non turbo one.
