GAZ M21 Engines and Transmissions

The 2.5 MT Cabrio and Sedan examples both combine a gasoline engine, manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. These give you the same basic drivetrain layout in either body style, with gear changes handled by the driver. During a test drive, check for smooth clutch engagement and clean gear selection.
