Hey guys,
I was just curious, has anyone here driven a Colorado? I haven't driven a longitudinally mounted RWD car with a stick in a long time. I think the only other one I've driven was a Volvo. One of the things that I noticed though, is that you get engine feedback through the gear shifter. I don't know why, but I think that's the coolest friggin thing. I haven't bothered to look yet, but... the gear shift is directly connected to the transmission with a lever, as apposed to using cables and brackets like it is on my 87 Fiero... right?
Quick question about the transmission... this is the same transmission as is on the Colorado, correct? I noticed the transmission in the Solstice is a bit notchy and kind of harsh... but I'm totally not complaining... for what I paid for this car, I'd take a 3-Speed manual from a 60s Ford Mustang and I'd STILL be happy. This car is an amazing deal. I was just curious if those characteristics had more to do with the ruggedness of the transmission since it was originally meant for the Colorado??
Thanks!
