16vT / tranny ?

[calimus at techography.net (Calimus)]

An AGB can deal with the power, but you will want to go through it. and
possibly swap out w/ a deisel 5th for highway speed runs/better gas milage.
Also, if you plan to beat the car a little, invest in a LSD.  You can make a
custom box with defferent gears, but that could get a tad pricey, has been
done though.  Basicly, running 10psi on a 16vT, you can tear up just about
any tranny if you really try.

Dropping a cable shift O2A/O2J in is another possability, does require
cutting some new holes in he firewall and some fun aligning things a bit.
But it can be done.
