[Bruce Steele]

Synchro on 1st has got to be the #1 advantage, with 5th OD a close second.

The Toyota Transmission weighs about 75 pounds less, has less parastitic drag drag on the engine (more power to the road), and a reverse light switch.

I've seen threads on the Toyota 5 speed conversion, and looked through the archives a bit.  My BJ8 has the original trans. with the overdrive which all works as it is supposed to.  What is the advantage to converting to the Toyota 5 speed over using the factory setup?
