Those are great. I think you need a 727 if you use a MoPar auto trans. Cost around $2,000, but bullitproof and ought to last 200,000 miles before they need work, claimed to have been tested for 1,500 horsepower. They use sprage clutches like automatics so you can shift under full power.

Is there anything like this that doesn't cost so much ?

According to the Gear vendors rep at the Mopar Spring Fling show, they are now making them for 904 automatics too.

That would be excellent, and an easier swap than the T-5 (which is where I'm looking because the G/V is way out of my budget ). The G/V unit is beefy and can handle pretty much any gasoline or light truck diesel motor - and requires no floorpan mods.

I e-mailed the company today, and was told they only make it for the 727.
