[6pack] new transmission ideas

[Navarrette, Vance]

 	J.:

	A bit of data to consider. A TR6 with an overdrive is worth
$1000 more than the same TR6 w/o overdrive. A TR6 with a five speed gets
no resale premium best I can tell.
	I added the OD to my car for about $500 plus my labor. I don't
think you can do it that cheaply anymore, but a SWAG would be $750 if
you supplied the labor and added a Volvo sourced OD to your existing TR6
tranny. Probably a better deal overall, but not as slick as the 5 speed.

	Also, you can lighten your existing flywheel while you are
adding an OD. I don't know what a TR6 lightened flywheel costs new, but
I got mine lightened for $90.

	Cheers,

	Vance
