The transmission in my '88 (gearbox is from an '89 nonturbo) hits around 2850 at 70.
The rebuilt transmission in my '92 (again, from an '89 nonturbo) hits about 3100 at 70.
The automatic, formerly in my '88, was around 3500 at 70. Theoretical top speed for that hunk of crap was right around 90, and that's because you'd be exploring redline.
Fuel mileage: '88 900 auto 22/23, '88 900 manual 28/35, '92 S (16 valve, 2.1 liter) 27/34. Do the math and you'll discover why my auto-to-manual swap paid for itself (in fuel costs alone) in a little under five months.
