Hey out there! Anyone answer this question? Just bought a 1988 "L" with manual tranny. Advertised as a 4 speed. I thought Festiva's had 5 SPEED man. trannys. Did they put 4 speeds manuals in 1988's? Or is something wrong with the tranny/clutch? It drives fine and I don't get the "SHIFT" light in fourth. Had it up to 80 mph, RPM's dont' seem to high. (no tach)
Oh yea, the shift pattern is like a 5 speed, as in, 1st forward, 2nd back, 3rd over right and forward, 4th back, where 5th would be, over right again and forward, stick goes over right, but not forward, does go back for reverse.
All shifting is smooth as silk though the 4 gears and reverse. Thanks all, Dan
