gazelle

Thanks for the information, as it is now, we can't get more than about
50MPH on the highway.
I will look into an automatic trans for it.

Maybe I was not very clear with my suggestion. I meant the rear axle gear
ratio is usually lower with a manual transmission car. Changing to a higher
rear axle ratio that usually come with a auto transmission car would give
more speed at lower RPM. There is no need to switch to an auto transmission.
The car should do better than 50 mph. I think you have another problem that
needs to be sorted out. Stock Pinto's with the 2300 engine easily do 80mph.
I recently acquired a Gazelle with the 2300 engine with an auto trans and I
have no problem getting it up to 65 +. The ride however is a little scary
and I need to sort out some suspension issues.

I see, so I can keep the 4 speed and look at the rear end
I think I will take your advice and have it looked at, I think it
should go faster also, maybe there is an engine problem.
This car rides and handels well, it just takes forever to get where we
are going.
I will let you know what the mech. finds out, as I will take it in next
week and let him have a look.
Thanks
Chuck
