No one has actually seen one of these modified autos in person AFAIK.

I took calls all day on how to make it work. The internals are fundamentally different in size, function and number. Why not use the tranny that comes behind the 3.4? You know, the one made for the 3.4? If you get that far in and think keeping things "stock" is a better idea than using a tranny for the engine, you are nuts.

Marlin sells an adaptor to get a gear drive case behind that tranny. I have owned three of them. Only in the last 3 months have I finally gotten one that is not supposed to leak. Dual cases are easier, you don't have to eliminate the park solenoid.

If you have a 5spd truck and skills, do it in the driveway quick and easy.

If you have an auto, swap engine/tranny, swap to 5 spd, fix or sell that SOB, placed in order of cost.
