well work though all the symptoms one by one
fix the drive shaft

you need a new pan on the auto .. if banged up it reduces oil pressure and pick up
that will stave the auto of oil destroying in internally

the bang could be the oil pump in the auto behind the torque converter

think about fitting a high stall torque converter if the box has to come out

what is the purpose of a high stall torque converter and is it worth putting a shift kit in.

No. It won't make your car any faster and will be a neck snapping pos by the time you've finished with it.
Again, high stall torque converters are for cars that make power at high rpm so won't do you any good unless you have a huge cam.

Do yourself a favour and don't touch the gearbox. They're fragile things and special tools and knowledge are needed. Get the spinnaker bearings replaced before you bugger something else

I feel I want to buy your car just so you can no longer hurt it.

Just a though about the rough running after you gave it a hard time. It might be possible that the sharp movement of the drivetrain set off the knock sensors and put the engine into limp home mode? I'm not entirely sure if that's possible, but I know how **** they run in LHM...

I've read bits and pieces of this thread, and sincerely hope its a massive attempt at trolling.

If not..

*facepalm*
