Thanks! It's getting the 4L60E that came out of the donor. I may find a reverse manual valve body for it and/or and different gear set. I don't like the jump between 1st and second, too much ratio change.

How was the install on that shifter? And those wheels look sick.

Shifter is easy. 4 bolts to the floor, a little bit of wiring, and a hole for the cable to run through. I haven't done the transmission side yet, but its just adding a bracket for the cable and changing the lever out. Trickiest part is trimming the black plastic piece.

Thanks!

Got a little gas-saver commuter while this is down so I don't have to keep borrowing the parent's car.



2005 DR-Z400SM. Spent $9 to put over half a tank in it. Rather happy.

Fit pretty nicely actually. Unfortunately have to go with stock exhaust manifolds to fit but such is life. Downhill slide now though.
