Could you not of put a lockup converter as a 4th gear and been alot happier on the street? Also did you ever get to make a pass with it installed?
I have been wanting to switch to a Auto with a transbrake for a long time, Just never had the funds to complete it.
Also did it seem to pull any harder?
I worked with BDE to develop the kit, they hadnt done an RB kit before. We cut the ring gear off an RB20 auto flywheel and welded it to a 'flywheel' we had measured. The bell housing is just a modified rb20 auto housing, and then bolted to a TH400 via cnc adapter plate. As of right now, no lockup converters are offered....
I made some passes with it but the converter was too loose, I could never get it up on the converter so it was always lazy out of the hole, I think 1.7 60ft was the best I ever got out of it....
It actually pulled way less, that converter zapped so much power out of the car it was crazy.......the instant I had the 5spd back in there I was like OMG the car has balls again!
