94 std 1.9 tranny on it's last leg...

[Willskyline]

Hey. I have a 94 std (non ls, gt) that's about to lose it's first transmission. As I have found I'm a bit hard on transmissions, and I'm not willing to change that, I was considering getting a slightly stronger replacment. DJ, my honest mechanic, told me it'd run a good $800 to get some oem replacement, but it'll still be the relativly weak tranny I've been dealing with for years. If I'm going to put decent $$ into a car tha's only really worth $1500 at most, I might as well get something that lasts.

What decent performance tranny options are out there for the 1.9?

Should I just save up for something else and perhaps leave this thread forever?!

Manual or automatic?

My guess, Alvin, is that the answer to your question is contained in the title:

Std usually means standard tranni, yes?
