Re: five or six speed
Five-speeds were common. What are you looking for?

Re: five or six speed
It's not a swap, but I have a factory 5-speed in my '91.

Re: five or six speed
I have a NV3500 in my 90. For some reason it wants to be shifted slow or it will grind in 2nd and 3rd. If swapping from an automatic or changing the master and slave cylinders I highly recomend bleeding the system with a vacume pump.

 Some things I've read say that the NV3500 didn't start until '92 or '93, but the previous years are still New Ventures and use the same housing.Quote:

Re: five or six speed
If that is the case, and if those transmissions were ever a GM-install behind a small block, it seems to me that it shouldn't be a big deal....well, sorta. Seems that before I could do that a whole pile of unobtanium would have to fall into my lap.....unobtanium = $$$.
Then, a driveshaft would probably be on the short list of "must-haves". But, ain't no biggee.
