Welcome!

Image didn't work mate.

You'd be better off getting a V8 5 speed, the bell housing and input shaft are different on the I6 T5s. Shorter diff gears, a stally, & a shift kit would liven up your auto a fair bit :D

Is it a V8? Can't see it mentioned anywhere.

Well, XR6 trans will suit it fine then :D

Classy = remove spoiler if it has one, dump it, and don't go too flashy on the rims ;) Avoid neonz and other sick accessories. Winner.
