[Correction] What's special about an S?
Last week I
incorrectly posted to the list that my '81 S came from the factory with a 4
speed tranny. Wrongo! I checked out the tranny collecting dust in my garage and
its a 5-speed...an FF.
I'm sure
that some of you out there knew this and were too nice point out my
error.
Since the
motor had a spun bearing when I bought the car, I only drove the car in
first gear with that tranny (from the street--where the tow-truck dropped it
off--into my garage). I like a close-ratio gearbox, so I swapped in a 2H when I
changed out the motor.
Sorry for
the bad information. The PO gave me the old window sticker from the car, and I
could have sworn that it said that the car came with a 4-speed. I'll have to dig
into the paperwork and find the sticker to be sure.

Yeah, and my
'81 had a 4 speed. That's what it came with from the factory unless the PO
changed it out--and I'm 99% sure that he didn't because he kept all the receipts
and there's no receipt for a tranny.

what do you mean didnt all
roccos come w/ 5 speeds?
Nope...my friends '80 had a
4spd in it.
