Stupid question for you or anyone else:
How do I tell if my vert has the AOD or the A4LD transmission?



Thanks

It depends on what you want to do with the car and what you want to spend.
If you really have to have a manual, then nothing else will do. If you're
going to drag race, automatics are generally more consistent as they don't
miss... well, if they do, they probably won't ever hit the gear. While the
trans is out, you could have it rebuilt to be a full-manual, reverse
valvebody, transbrake-equipped beast... basically making it a clutchless
4-speed. It'll cost you a chunk of change to convert to a stick, but it can
be done. You'll have to scavenge all of the parts from a 5-speed car...
bellhousing, transmission, crossmember, cable, cable cover on bellhousing,
pedal assembly w/ quadrant, console trim plate, boot, oil seal, shifter,
handle, knob, flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch fork.. Basically,
finding a wrecked car is easiest. 4-cylinder cars can be used to source the
interior trim, shifter, oil seal, boot, and pedal assembly, but the rest is
4-cylinder specific.

So... it's all in what you want to do. It's gonna cost any which way you
go.
