I am told that you can use the tranny internals from an 88-89 starquest to beef up the m/t with good success, but I don't offhand know of anybody who's actually done it.


I had to have my M/T rebuilt shortly after getting the turbo engine running correctly. I spec'ed Starion replacement hardware and paid someone else to install. It's held up fine so far.

Couple of caveats: First, the tranny guy may not have sourced what I spec'ed, but I suspect he did - truthful sort.

Second, I don't drive it like I'm going to put out a fire most of the time.

I got 190,000+ miles out of the original M/T.
