I got a Solstice transmission from one of the Mallet swaps ... 173 miles on the transmission ... and Dave/Randy did the install ... the guy that has the back part of their shop building (Noone???) has a lot of 2.4 motors and transmissions ... so anyone in need can get a good deal .... I was very satisfied with the price and have had no problems with the transmission ... I did change the fluid out and went with Royal Purple .. and the tranny came from a NA.

The 06 Kappas had real LOOOOONG third gears (90+mph) and therefore there was a big ratio gap between 2nd and 3rd. The 07 (and newer) boxes had a more even spread of ratios.
