Heard that. They can be fast, and great for going in the brush. For hauling, I'm a straight drive fan :cool:

What do you know about installing a torque convertor? Maybe I'll let ya see it soon :p

But as soon as I buy it we should meet up and I'll show ya. I'm so excited to buy it!

In my experience Howbills (which is right down the road from my parents..) doesn't have this sort of thing. I would try m&m and if no luck there, your screwed .

I'm hoping to NOT up the trans; that would be soooo much money that I dont wanna spend. I think I"m just gonna do the valve body for now for better/harder/faster shifts, and I'll hold off on the torque converter. What do you suggest?
