C-4
Since my transmission is shot, we called around and it's going to be $650 for a rebuild (AOD). But I was looking into Summit and found the TCI is it? C-4 transmissions are around 700-800. Will they bolt directly in to a stock 1990 lx 302?

RE: C-4
+1 Im almost positive you will need a new bellhousing and yes you will loose overdrive. Plus I think you might need a few other small things to make it work. What I would do is, call up Performance Automatic and ask them what exactally you will need to run a C4 and they will tell you and try to sell you the stuff. Hang up and find it elsewhere, or order it from them if you want to.

RE: C-4
i believe the c4 is shorter which will require a new drive shaft. and you lose OD. the c4 is only 3 gears.
