Thanks Mark, Been reading about them for a couple of days. There are a lot of variations on that box and I spose a guy building his dream car would use one part from this and another from that and a particular gear set from another. I get that, but right now I have a problem inside my transmission, and first was never quite low enough anyhow, and it pops outa second downhill and maybe worst of all is where reverse is. Had some close calls there. For me it's an easy swap and fairly inexpensive.The one I'm attempting to pick up is from a '93 S10 with a 2.8 V6 so it might not have the super low 4:1 like the bangers had.
