Maybe on the launch and that's it, and then that's in the straight line.. corners are where it's at. :cool:


What do you guys think would be the better option, long term? I need something, that I know if maintained, won't break down on me for a long time. Thanks.
I built a T56 6spd for mine that's been holding up well. Here's an old vid that will motivate you..

We did, let me help you see the rest that you missed...

I'd like to keep my car original, and numbers matching.

But the TH-200 in the car wasn't maintained by the previous owners well, the fluid in it and the 305 didn't look pretty.

And occasionally, the transmission isn't as responsive, as it is on other days.

So I'm just planning to drive it, and see when it's time to replace.



But i'm choosing between TH-200 4R, as I would like overdrive since I have done quite a bit of highway driving. That said I'm also considering a modification for a manual transmission.

What do you guys think would be the better option, long term? I need something, that I know if maintained, won't break down on me for a long time. Thanks.

Need anything else, let us know.👍
