I've been thinking about swapping over from the stick in my car to an automatic set up. Just wondering the value of my stick set up. Dss driveshaft , brand new rxt clutch and 50000 on the transmission

FB 4R75W manual vb complete kit. I am very happy I did. I tightened up the converter over the winter and it's perfect now (to loose before). Very fun to drive and Pete at Performance Dyno (great guy!) gave me a fresh tune (687rwhp) going to the track asap.

I got a few upgrades and if I remember correctly it was in the $6,500 range for complete kit minus the driveshaft. In the end i'm very happy with the car, FB. I made one converter change and that was it. I'd do it again with out reservations...

I'm running a VMP blower, and it just made 687 rwhp on pump fuel. I'm very happy with it now. I'm running a FB kit with his tq converter. I'm not sure on slip % yet but I know it's far better now lol

I have a bps blower and everything to go with it. And mine is a 2007. I'm really leaning towards doing the swap over soon but I would love to have my stuff gone first

Seems the Caitlyn Jenner swap is getting more popular all the time.Talk to someone that has actually done it before deciding.
