Hi All
Thinking of converting my HT from 5 spd Supra to a tuff trimatic with a small stall.
Which is the best / toughest trimatic of them all?
Cheers

VK or VL 5L, but you can get any of them rebuilt to better than that. A Commodore one will suit your HT better as the original HT/HG units were left hand shift.

the HT / HG were cable kickdown too, finding one of them would be hard.

Plus those were the trimatics that gave trimatics a bad name.

i think the powerglide input shaft is the same as trimatic and you can buy one to suit 500hp+ its about 140 bucks from the states. |
Havent you learnt anything from that guy that gives sermons at church?...Captain whats his name. |
