What transmission do I need to bolt to my 88 festiva 1.3 carb engine
Will I need to swap flywheel
I'll replace clutch of course

Welcome to the Community! A 5 speed festiva transmission is your best choice. It bolts right up and requires nothing different. The Aspire transmission is your second best choice, as it also bolts right up with no changes. The Aspire Gear ratio is not as good for gas mileage as the Festiva tranny though, and Aspire transmissions are less reliable according to many members reports of failure on this forum.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion. -
In order to swap the aspire trans in, you will also need the front transmission mount and bracket from the aspire.Originally posted by Advancedynamix View PostThe Festiva Store

Where are you located? There may be forum members close by with an extra transmission or could help you source one.Ian

The case is built slightly different but the bracket takes up for the difference. I should take a picture of them side by side for comparison. I think I have both lying on the floor in my shop...Originally posted by Advancedynamix View PostThe Festiva Store

Do I need to change anything with the shifter to make it work with the 5 speed ?Comment

Shouldn't have to. It should bolt right in. The shifter gate/shifter pattern is inside the transmission.Last edited by Team Lightning; 07-31-2015, 11:01 PM.Jerry
