Thinking of it, yes you’re right. This is a very unique setup. Most people have to swap out the engine in order to get a 5 speed swap. The response is indeed instantaneous on his car, probably due to the fact that it’s Naturally aspirated. ---

Love this car. Had like 4 sc’s all LHD and I remember converting mine to 5-speed. A very long and time consuming process so you cant just pick up 1k sc400 and a w5x tranny and think it will take you 5 days to do it. And this is the 97+ model so very beautiful. Sadly no one pays good money for these cars even if they are 5 speed. Never understood why. GLWS ---

True say I love the car, if it was up to me alone, i would never sell it. The main reason i am selling is because i need to get a 6 or 7 passemger car for my kids, the SC also does not have the sure latch car seat system (became standard after 2000) and securing and loading the baby seat is too much of a pain. ---
