not sure what type!

what type of auto are the ones on the back of ca18's ? jatco ?

dont forget to tell us what happened!!!

thanks for the advise.

i am going to try and drop into the shop on the way home from work and pick the mechanics brain again on transbrakes and the like and will let you guys know on what is available.

roads were wet on the way to work today... how much fun is that!!!

Thanks for input tens and twenties!

Switchable lock up converter would be the bomb.

My mopars were Assie built , but the Torquflite transmissions are identical to the US ones , with the exception of the shifter linkages (for our right hand drives) Many of the 904s and 727s in NZ have been imported from the states by speed shops.

FWIW, some 280Zx's came with a lock-up converter stock. And you could switch it off and on from a switch on the dash.

All your Mopars were likely Aussie-built, and his were Detroit-built. That could make a huge difference.

Ask your Auto mecanic how much the trans brake will be while your there get a price for a lock up converter

Let us know how it goes!

Will give you something to save for, nothing will fix your problem without costing a bit of money! Even if you change the box it will still cost a bit to get it fitted.

I recon transbrakes the go , any objections out there?

I thought i'd take a bit more notice today on the way home from work, of what rpm the thing gets going at....

I was wrong at 3 grand, it's more like a little over 2 (guess i got carried away looking at the smoke rather than the tacho)

Anyway, i rode the brake and the tyres slipped at 2, i then let go and she did move alot better... but,
it feels "heavy".
What i mean by that is it has good mid and top end back lacks the punch in the seats that the manual will give- or the heavy wheel spin, whatever way you look at it (or drive).
am i being too picky or am i just not used to the more "sedate" auto???

(i keep thinking about that transbrake)
