Quote:..." *MSG-4K* 2.2L & 111C but 1978 is 1.8 L."... -your tranny is a MSG-4, but I don't know what the specific model suffix letter is, whether it is a K or something else. That suffix letter often had to do with the tranny gear ratios, diesels trannies tend to have lower 1st-3rd gears than gasoline trannies -the 2.2L refers to the diesel engine not available until 1981 in the US market -the 111C is 111 cubic inches: your 1.8L engine is also 110.8ci displacement, there was also a 1.8L diesel offered in certain passenger cars -all these use basically the same tranny, I don't see anything in the fitment description that says the kit won't fit your tranny
You do know that a '86-'95 MSG-5 is a very simple upgrade swap? Stronger tranny plus a 15% OD 5th gear & still pretty easy to find in salvage yards. sometimes it's easier & cheaper to swap trannies than to repair the old one. Several on the site have done so, do a search for more info.
