This, is a great lead in to my ever present curiosity for these things.  Is
there or anyone have any ideas as to what might be a good upgrade to the
automatic?  Say a late model 4 or 5 speed?  More would be fun but as they
get more modern, a lot of them share electronic connections with an ECU or
similar so they may not make a great choice.  I'm sure we could all use the
gain in acceleration and mileage.  Yes, the 3 speed is pretty durable, I'll
give you that.  I'm sure this has been asked before but searching the
archives brought up 1.843 million questions about transmission *problems
and *not upgrading the current unit.

Thanks,
