nothing is wrong with the auto except it leaks some.the flex plates starter teeth were shot so it was tearing up starters.found the parts truck for $400 bucks and it has a stick so we decided to put it in.it is my little brother in laws monty and we prefer stick shifts anyways.

i built shifter extentions to make up for the body lift last night.all thats left is to bolt up the front drive shaft,bleed the clutch,fill the tranny and t case and put the carb back on.i am going to post the 4.875 gears for sale if anyone is interested.

I am really happy with the performance of the auto in mine. 35's with a 2.6, and I put some mileson it. Thhe 88 SWB I just got will be my first dealing with the 5 spd. Got a tuff pan coming for it, will probably end up on 31's, kind of afraid to go any more. Even the Dillon is doing great with his and 38's.
