Got 70 MPG?

They will all work, but the XFi is the only one in that list that will have the same final drive ratio as the current manual tranny in the 4 bangers IIRC.

The other two will have shorter gears, a big MPG killer for the 1.3L. I think what you really want is a manual out of an 89'-94 1.3L as they should be even lower geared than the XFi's transmission.
