I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Won't work...

Wait, you have a 4 speed meaning you have an automatic transmission, not a manual gearbox....if that's the case, you need the automatic from an 1.8L v6Eunos Presso/30x...that's all that works.

Many people swap to a manual because the automatics are prone to failure, and there is a performance improvement that way too.
