The first one. The one I had bought.
They said the other one would never have worked.
I guess it'd be the correct one for Clint's car.

TX ownership is suddenly reconsidered a bit.

It's actually a five on the tree. Count the pedals.

Never had a TX. Too much electrickery in there for my liking. I would happily have a 1647 and five speed though! I thought my old 1565 well well enough.

Needs correct rev counter though, having an auto display would annoy me

Three and half k at 130k/80mph isn't bad to be fair. My BMW was about the same revs/road speed.
