#936, "RE: Engine Design Change between 95/96 & 97-up!!!!!!!!" In response to In response to 12
I was told by this guy who had a talon that the reason why he got the Talon was that the trany and the shifter were better then the Mitsubishi. I've never driven a Talon, so I can't give you my opinion. That's just what the guy told me. I'm guessing that Eagle used their own trany instead of the Mitsubishi trany? I don't know??
And I agree with you, there had to be a reason for Mitsu to change the crank/block design, but just because they changed it, doesn't mean that it's better for us. It might be better for them, cost wise, like it was probably cheaper for them to use a thiner block or heavier block?? I'm not sure. But if I do find out, I'll let you all know.
I GOT 3rd AT MY FIRST SHOW!!
