Re: [Amc-list] hot rodding my Spirit

You need a World class trans from a fraud.
Darned close to being a bolt in, aim for 90-92 range as they lengthened the input after that and the earlier world class trans are only 265ftlb rating same as non world class.
   Get a 2.95-1 first gear world class trans for more fun and better durability yet.
Much fun as it is, the AMC t5 will probably break shortly with kind of abuse you are having fun giving it!
  I have not broken mine yet, but it indeed only a matter of time.
