i'm interested in the 4r70w trans. is it function just like the regular 5spd auto trans? is there anything special that needs to be done to get it to work?
awesome car!

Thanks for the compliment

As for the tranny, it is not at all like the stocker.....It is a manual shift 3 speed with an overdrive switch and a transbrake. So you ratchet it one down for reverse then four more pulls your in first. You then launch it like the space shuttle and then slam it forward into second and then third. On the freeway you switch on the OD and cruise at 80mph at 2500 rpm. I am getting 16 mpg on the freeway

That is a great trans.....thanks for the explanation on how it works as I was curious. Similar to the ones I see on TV all the time and they shift so smooth and quickly.....I am sure way faster than a manual car.
