i'm trying to identifiy my transmission to get some parts or possibly tackle doing a 5 speed swap. current transmission is a 4 speed automatic overdrive. is it the A-43D? there is nothing wrong with the transmission, i just like shifting gears! another thought was to buy another automatic and have it rebuilt, but heavy duty. i know they used the same trans in some Rv's and doing that kit upgrade would dramatically increase the longevity of the trans. thanks for any and all feedback
Sad to say my 81 auto does the same thing it shifts up and down when it wants and when you don't want it to!!!!!!. Getting ready to put a 5 speed in mine!!!!!!!!! Bob
The A43d is a pretty stout trans. If you pull it, I may be interested in having another around. I'm running 12 pounds of boost in front of mine now, and while I also love shifting, I can't justify the work and money to swap to a manual.
nothing wrong with my current trans, i was just trying to get the identification narrowed down so that i can buy another and overhaul it and have it on standby.
i honestly couldn't tell you. since mine is overdrive, i have a selector knob on the dash that lets me turn the overdriver off and on at will.
