[V8] Re: 5 Speeds

[Jeremy Ward]

I know this has been discused before on the list, but does anyone know exactly how many 5spds we got?  I have heard 55 before, and know of one 1990 for sure...  I also remember discussion of a certain number of the US allotment of 5spds going over to Japan.  Anyone have any documentation?

As a side note, I recently discovered that the 5spd was offered in europe from 89 to 94, the 6spd in 93 and 94, and the 3.6l (PT) was offered from 89 to 94, where as the 4.2l (ABH) was just offered 92-94 (same as here).  So it was possible in europe to have a 94 with a 3.6 and a 6spd.  Most of europe's V8s were automatics, though.

Regards,
