Im pretty sure you could use any s14 tranny not just Kouki. Search the web or your local wreckers

Yea any s14 tranny will do. You're more likely to find a 95 though. Kouki years, there were much less 5speeds. GoodLuck!!!

Oh yes... and a lot less of the 240s were produced those years... sad really.

Just my 2 cents

i am going to be sad the day 240's are as rare as mclaren f1's and either have to be restored like an old muscle car or they are junkyard heaps stupid people not buying 240's pfff i think koukis were the best and they are the hardest to find because few were made compared to the coupes and hatch's

That could be true, but I see more 240's in the junk yard than in the street dude. Most of them are the FB's but thats a 180. There's plenty of people who sell 'em ib these forums, you just gotta look!

Dude around here its jsut the opposite. Theres a lot of 240's... well not a lot, but more than i'd expect. But most are driven by poor rednecks from mississippi, or middle aged women who are with a poor redneck from mississippi. I cant find more then 4 240's at any one time in our local wreckin yards.

Yeah i live in MN as well and yes it sucks. If you ever do find a place to get an s14 tranny let me know, i need one too, mine grinds and it may be cheaper to find a junked one instead of getting it fixed!

the vr4 was pretty quick, but yeah mitsubishi does make crap. they fall apart, especially the interior. The interior is also butt ugly. did the twin turbo version ever hit the us? anyway, id rather have my 240 anyway.... or try to turbo my legend! omfg that would be one fast fwd if i could put a good turbo on there...ive only seen one 1st gen legend with a turbo... its really hard, but really quick
