Desireable transmission

So I have a parts car that came with a AOP code transmission.
My 85 I am driving has a ACH transmission.
Which is better? I notice the 3rd and 4th gears are different. I like a bit of peppy-ness so is the ACH better in that regard?
Which ever one I keep, the other is for sale.

Well, the ACH is in the current car and it runs just fine. I don't know if I want to sell the other because I like having extra parts "just in case". Mr Murphy is likely to visit if I sell the other one...
Which has a bigger input shaft and axles? I assume the AOP as it's from a later car.

The AOP and ACH both have 90mm flanges. As for input shaft size, they should be the same but I am no expert by any means.

I believe only 16v trans' had bigger input shafts. It's a negligible difference as far as strength though.

If you keep the other transmission, do yourself a favor and drain the oil in it, refill it, and store it in as dry a place as possible.
Then when Mr. Murphy comes to call, you will have a strong finger to show him.

last time i stored a trans I replaced the fluid too. Then I wrapped it in an industrial garbage bag, sucked all the air out, and taped it shut. Moisture Proof.. Good for moisture prone areas..

Please tell me you used something other than your mouth to suck the air out?
