Welcome to the forum. You might want to think about leaving your phone # on an open forum. |

Welcome to your new forum, Krusty! On Mr. Murf's suggestion I removed your number. Good luck on finding the transmission of your dreams. You might want to post an ad in the 'wanted' section of the forum. If any member has a tranny for Krusty they can PM Krusty Krusty or me for Krusty's number. |

Try ANA trade Corp there in Baltimore MD 410-342-4404 I bought a JDM auto from them with less than 50k miles on it for $250.00 its been in there for a year and now with no issues. Im sure they can ship it to you for less than it would cost to have it rebuilt. Now for the screaming issue i would upgrade to a taller tire. Ditch the 12s and go with 185-60-14s with nice alloys. |

Japanese domestic market. In other words, imported from Japan. |

UPS or greyhound. It is within either of their weight limits and you may find it surprisingly reasonable. |

Welcome here Your 1.3 already has as you say, the tallest gearing available. If it has no issues, the cheapest solution would be to increase the tire diameter to lower your rpms. A 1-2" increase in diameter of the tire would lower your rpms, but of course will also throw off your speedometer / odometer quite a bit so keep that in mind. |

Other mods you might look at are lowering it a little, an air dam, grille block, and possibly an "econo" cam. 3Tech makes cams for 1.3l/1.6 G13/G16 8V SOHC 4cyl (up to 1994), 1.3/1.6 G13/G16 16V SOHC 4cyl and 1.3 G13B DOHC 4cyl. |

The autos scream at highway speeds its sad but true . I have put 250k miles on my auto since 2001. ALOT of them at speeds of 70+ with no real issues.
