Hmmm good point.  Since I now own an 84 parts coupe, I was planning on
swapping its transmission into my 82, cable type clutch car as soon as I
feel the need for a new clutch.

Might there be a difference between the transmission bolt ups between
cable and hydr. clutch units?

I realise I might have to swap the speedo... but I'd like that "sporty"
closer ratio gearbox on my 82, I've driven the 85 a few hundred yards
(soon to be backup car...) and it feels *way* quicker. Of course it's
going 20% slower at a given rpm (in 5th I think?), so it's fifth is
about equal to my fifth.

Anyway,
