Hey guys,
About to go nuts on a big build S550 w/ a TH400 / Glide transmission.
Just wondering whats the best base to begin with ? Auto or a manual ?
I wont be technically using any of the electrics/looms/coolers etc from the 6R80 so was thinking the manual might be a better base donor car ?
The TH400/Glide will be independent and anything transmission will run through the aftermarket computer or its own.
Just seeing whats the general consensus from guys who have done a few conversions and whats going to be the easiest and cheapest route ?
I think the only problem using a manual would be tricking the computer into thinking it has a clutch, which im sure is easy enough to overcome.
TIA..
