what power are you making? I loved the full manual trimatic i had in mine, made the car very streetable was built by jason at dominator in thomastown swear by him 200% he'll be doing my next box for me for sure. If you want a jatco, my boss has a gzm box in his rotor making big power. He kept smashing manaul boxes hasn't had a problem with it in the 2 or more years he's had it and its a dedicated race car. He swears by goran

With regards to your holding the button to reverse get it wired into your reverse lights switch on your shifter. That way you can have it setup with two switches one for normal driving then turn that one off and turn your push button on....
