[VH SLE]

Hey guys im getting a 308 for my sle its got about 320-340hp. had alot done to it. but ive just got the stock trimatic in it. im going to rebuild the trans before the motor goes in but i want to know what good parts i should build it with so its tough and not going to break with the new motor. im going to a trans place i was reccomened by a mate and talk to them about it but i just want you guys feedback to.

you need to get one fitted out with extra clutchpacks (total 6) in top because thats a weakness in V8 trimatics, chrome moly servo piston, Full manual valve body. I used George at TransTec Automatics (Byron Place?) in the city, just off Grote Street, he did my 6 cyl one, Prety sure he uses Soderstrom PTC parts which will be what you want. you wont be disappointed, it'll easily handle that much power when modified and have no problems chirping the tyres into second and maybe even into top if he bumps the oil pressure up enough. good luck

2 speed powerglide would be awesome if u could find one

They are easy to find, but not very cruise friendly. Only really suited to a strip weapon.
