This may come across as blasphemy but with all the MT-82 transmission issues I was wondering if anyone had accomplished an auto transmission conversion? Just curious.....
My car's been a Boss-o-matic since Sept 2012. I'd day it depends on your horsepower level and the type of racing you plan to do. I snapped two MT82 input shafts and blew apart 4th gear at the 750ish rwhp level.
My car is full of blasphemy though, I drag race a Boss!
My my-82 lasted 2 days at 900rwhp and I turned it down hoping it would last. The two days were at the roll race event at tx2k. I am putting a magnum XL in. I don't hate the auto idea, I just love rowing gears. There was another boss there with an auto and he loved it.
