Yeah, that's another variation I use. And don't get me started, it really doesn't take much more than that to get me on the phone with one of my favorite vendors or local builders; just ask Andy!
But seriously, I will actually be obstaining from touching the slushbox during this current downtime. It's a TH400 that was reportedly built using B&M fare and set up for 1/4 mile duty. Either way it will suffice for now.
Eventually (read: October/November timeframe), I will be doing some form of overdrive: either a GVOD added to this tranny or a new TKO600. If I go with the former, I will have the TH400 visited to ensure it's readiness. If I go with the latter, I will likely need to rework the tunnel, which means it will be a good candidate for being a project to execute in concurrence with other body work (and paint), which is my winter goal...
