Hm. How loud/would it be due to too much wear?

Plus I agree with 47dodge, you'd have to almost stop to get it from 2nd to 1st, or just into 1st gear from neutral.

...which is why I'm proposing to use it with a 2.24. I'll do the math and see what I find.

Downshifting is kind of rough also. I think this trans would make your car feel like a truck.

Again, excessive wear?
