Bob - something to consider... how many miles on your car? Is the OD working right?

The 4+3 has a life... and the problem now is finding good folks to fix the damned thing... and some parts are getting hard to find, IIRC. This is why I am a fan of the TKO 5spds.

They are available as the TKO500 (500 ft-lbs of torque) or the TKO600 (600 ft-lbs) and with either .64 or .67 OD (IIRC).

They are not cheap, but they are a serious - and I mean SERIOUS - upgrade. The 4+3 was a Borg Warner Super T-10 with an OD unit (essentially a 1 spd Power Glide) attached to the tail shaft. The TKO boxes are the latest in modern, internal shifting manuals. The T-10 is a leftover from 1962... it's that archaic... external shifting rods, little or no options to enhance the shift linkage... ick-poo. And it's complex.

You can, with some effort, retrofit a T5 5spd into the C4. But the TKO boxes are already fit to the C4.


The super Ram was great. Putting in the new exhaust system this summer.

LSx engine controller was next on list
What a mind reader Andy

I am not sure about hydraulic throw-out bearings for the 4+3, but if Steve gave you that info, I am sure it's right!!

Depending on your goals, I would either get a new master/slave, bench bleed it and install... or consider the TKO upgrade, if you goal is the enhance the cars overall performance, like Steve has (383).

The upgrades Steve has done to his has raised that car up a number of pegs... seriously... the next big upgrade for his would be retrofitting an LSx engine controller to it. That'll freak out the smog check ppl... heh heh heh...
