Your D60s have the unit hub bearings?
Well, I am hesitant to blow the money needed to fix my truck transmission, and I wanted something else for a daily driver. After much thought and shopping, I landed on this. It's a 2004 Lexus IS300 with a rare 5 speed manual (you all know I have to row my own 
). It is fast, handles great, and is all around just a hoot to drive. I love it. I paid 11k for it, it came to 12k out the door on the dot.
The red '95 ram is still for sale, if anyone wants them d60's, but I might end up throwin a new tranny in and keeping it if no one wants it.

Thanks for the compliment, I havent been on in a while but still like to pop in every once in a while. Got kinda tired of answering tech questions so I just stopped posting there.

There is a guy on the my.is forum (screen name Migs) in the process of swapping a 5 speed into his mother's SportCross. Man that will be sweet.
That 9-2x looks pretty slick too! But I HAD to have Rwd, I personally think that having traction all the time is boring
I have been having so much fun taking corners completely sideways in this thing

Another reason I chose this particular car is that European cars are EXPENSIVE! Parts wise at least... Japanese stuff tends to be pretty cheap, especially so here, since the 2jz had been so widely used for so long.

Do you have a link to that Sportcross stick swap?
