    Default how much for a 5 speed auto?

    I have been offered a 5 speed auto that is currenly fitted to a vp.

    It had work done to it and a shift kit fitted a couple years ago but the drive is tool.

    I'm assuming the 5th gear is just an extra overdrive? If so, then the ratios are probably the same as a regular 4sp... doesn't sound worth the effort to me. Still a slushbox in the end.

    no mate. It a 4 speed plus overdrive. It will just have closer ratios n maybe a little smoother.

    Are you sure its not just a standard VP auto?? Thats exactly what a T700 is, a 4 speed auto with overdrive/lock up convertor.....

    Also interested in this 5 speed auto.

    If your knowledge on spools is anything to go by, this thread is about to get gold!

    4th gear in the th700 is overdrive... i think this guy is trying to sell you something that is just a stock vp auto unless it is a new transmission modified to fit the buick block?

    Sit in it, drive it, feel all five gears, THEN don't buy it.

    My thoughts too. I just had to see what it was on about after his excellent knowledge on spools and how they drive considering he once drove a falcon with an LSD
