[DeTomaso] NPC: Maserati Kyalami - Rebadged/Repowered Longchamp?

[Mike Drew]

Jeff,

The five-speed isn’t a transaxle like ours. It’s a conventional 5-speed gearbox, that happens to be made by ZF. It’s shared with Aston Martin, and is a bit weaker than a US gearbox, and fantastically expensive to rebuild. I know at least one manual Longchamp owner who replaced his with a Ford T-5. 

Only a handful of Longchamps were built with a manual. 12, 16, something like that?
