Ernie88TSi Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Why ruin an auto shell? Sell yours and pick up a 5spd car, they're a dime a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 the worst enemy of an auto is slipage and heat ,, any slipage is bad , if at any time you do have a shift that is lazy or seems to be sliping durring the shift you need to take a look at the band adjustments , bands and clutch pacs work just like brake pads but they don't have near the same amount of matterial on them, so if they slip they wear fast and don't last long quest auto cars are gear'd a little on the high side, they use the same diff gearing as the 5 spd cars but they have a higher gear ratio when in OD then the 5 spd cars so this places more strain on the drive line if you run the car hard,, droping the diff gears a little reduces this and makes the car much friendlier to drive on the street under 60 mph 3:90 gears drop the rpms in OD to about the same as the 5 spd at 60 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
