I've got a 2001 Firebird with a fairly modded v6 in it. It also has a 3.73 rear end so it doesn't have a very large top speed with the 5 speed transmission, and mainly it doesn't get as good a gas mileage as i would like when i cruise around 75-80 mph for a long time. Would a 6 speed transmission be beneficial to this (add top speed without taking away from acceleration, and would it really get me better gas mileage?). i have a freind that totaled an 01 camaro SS and is parting it out, would his transmission fit properly and work in a 2001 Firebird, i know they are both GM but i don't know how much the cars differ from each other. Also my cruise controle doesn't work, i checked the fuse and it is fine is there a trick to it or do i need to take it to a shop and have them look at it?
