I'd stick the rag in it,after it got new bearings and syncros. My reasons being gear control. I've never liked liked leting off throttle and feeling the load push me faster.

If you convert your 518 to lock up you will need 2nd gen flywheel housing and starter besides the lockup input shaft, 3 ball (lockup) reaction shaft support, and lockup valvebody.

Isn't it amazing what a nice tight transmission feels like? I was shocked at the difference when I did the trans in my '97, it was whipped!

So was mine! Literally picked up 10# boost going from the stocker to a Goerend!

Knew the old one was pretty much done for. Just didn't know how much, til after.

I was calling it "The Jet". You leave a light, it winds up to 21-2300rpm, and then it slowly glides away like a plane moving down the runway. It was really bad. :lol:
