: : Are you sure you want an automatic? Can't roll start it, you know. Try a Clark 280 5 speed overdrive tranny, the ultimate PW tranny.
: OK, I'll speak up for the other side in this debate. I'm running a TH400 automatic in my v8 M37. I'm on the tall side, and the placement
: the clutch pedal looks like it would be very uncompfortable for my legs. I often drive the M37 to work-- only 3 miles, but lots of stop and go.
: Don't really want to be doing all that shifting, especially on a hot day with all the heat the v8 radiates into the cab. I like being able to drive
: with one hand (power steering ) and one foot if I choose. And how often do you really need to roll start?
: Steve,
Did you do the swap yourself? Was it difficult to get the motor and tranny in? Did you need to move the transfer case back, if so did you extend all
of the shifter linkages? --Steve
