Funny you should post that Legend, I was looking at it only yesterday. It is very nice, though I am not keen on the wheels. This model only came in front wheel drive. The Legend gained rear wheel drive only in 1996 where it has stayed the same right up to the present. There is no traction contorl and they do not come in any manual transmission in Australia. You should note however I believe that the 1990 model Legend had an automatic transmission upgrade although it still remained the same 4 speed. The car puts out 132Kw power and is quite efficient. Any further questions let me know.

Steve

Love to Love the Legend

I am quite sure that there is no manual that will bolt onto the Legend. If there was though it would be something of an Accord, i believe they had a similar motor in them at one stage which may have had a manual transmission. Failing that you may want top spend $$$ and get a manual transmission from America. They came out in a manual 5 Speed as well as auto. Also this car can not be made into rear or awd without $$$ in the bank, basically you would have to be a millionare. If you can afford one though, buy it . They are smooth and powerful.
