Thought i'd be a little bit different and move away from the powerglide yet chase similar numbers.

Well looking to the Supras in the States, they all have C4's and Turbo400's and they fly out of the hole with one and run low low numbers. I wasn't primarily looking at a trimatic or a jatco, more so C series or a Turbo400 but biggest problem is it soaks up a bit of power. When it comes to autos everyone goes glide, no one has tried something different.

Only problem is they soak up a bit of power but all gearboxes have their pro's and con's.
