I've got a 90 740 turbo wagon (intercooled) with the 4 speed manual with OD.

I have a leak out at the transmission seal and understand they drop the tranny when they fix it, probably do the clutch at the same time, so it will likely be out of the car in the near future.

I think I'd prefer a 5 speed over 4 with OD - if it were an option. Anyone know if it is? I see the 5 speeds in newer 240's and just don't know what's available, if they are interchangeable, what sort of money is involved, etc.

My current tranny isn't almost always hesitant to go into first gear, and has a pause before it goes into OD (after hitting the button). My older 240 never did either of these things, not sure if I should be concerned about this or if I should just get used to it -
