i have HQ wagon with a trimatic, if i was to convert to a supra 5 speed which pedal box would i need to get? one from a HQ or a later model?, i have had numerous differnt opinions. i want to use a hydraulic clutch set up

suggestions to stay with a 3.36 diff or go to 3.08. The car is NOT a daily driver but is used on the odd accasion and usually not in traffic

many thanks

Talk to whoever does the hydraulic conversion, they will tell you which to use. Stay with 3.36 with a 5 speed.

Is a 3.36 better with the 5 speed gear box than a 2.78.

Thanks Special K

I havent really noticed that sort of a problem.

Mind you the engine has had a little work and maybe that makes the difference?

Will i get any more fuel efficiency out of it?
