And even then, it was well under $100 in parts. I never boot it unless I've selected the gear I want first and OD never gets much of a workout. This was without a trans cooler using a non-synthetic oilRVO in Dandenong built it BTW. Was about 3k.They are weak and who wants to drive like that? I know I dont want to be holding off between gear changes and fourth is weakest may as well be a 3 speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are other 4 speeds available that will hold 800-1000hp. There's a Jatco (can't remember the model) and the 4l60/65.If I wanted to go old-school, a glide would be on the cards. Perfect for our heavy, torque monster cars. Edited 17/12/10 12:10 PM by straughsberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
