If you want to come up to Alaska I'd gladly trade you my ACN for your
AWY. I can't get up any hills in 5th on the 94 1.6TD (gasser
conversion), so unless I want to smoke everyone out, I've got to keep
4th down to 55mph.

Personally I LOOOOVE the AVX in my 91 eco.  Yeah It screams, but I can
scream at 75 up the hills.

AVX 3.46 1.94 1.29 0.91 0.75 4.25final 91-92 ecodiesel
AWY 3.46 1.94 1.44 1.13 0.89 3.94final 89-92 diesel
ACH 3.46 1.94 1.37 1.03 0.75 3.94final 85-88 diesel
ACN 3.46 1.94 1.37 1.03 0.75 3.67final 85-88 8v

FF/FN/FH 3.46 1.94 1.29 0.97 0.76 3.89final up to 7/80
FF/FN/FH 3.46 1.94 1.29 0.91 0.71 3.89final 1981-??
