      Good luck! Hope they didn't drill holes in the door to mount that stupid mirror, but from the looks of it they probably did

            Try not to get discouraged. A better buy will come along for you.
            Who really wants yet another Red car anyways? Bleah.

                        Josh,

                        I have a five speed still in the car that you can get.

                        It is my spare, but if you need it, $50.00

                        You will need to take it out of the car.

                        Got a very good 4 speed already out also for $50.00

                          I transplanted a 5-spd into a carbed 4-spd...makes all the difference inthe world. Kia should be shot for installing 4-spds!!
                          Because....45 MPG.

                            It's not rare Cwall, it's just better. The first 4 gears of a 5 speed are the same gear ratios as a 4 speed. So a 5 speed is like a 4 speed with overdrive. Equates to the motor having to turn less revolutions, equals less wear and tear, and you typically get better gas mileage with a 5 speed than a 4 sppeed and definately better mpgs than an auto. I learned the above info from Freshtiva.

                              Thanks for the offer, but I don't need an extra tranny right now, we have a tranny for the aqua one, just have to finish hooking everything up.
