Guest Anonymous Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Hey. New to the site, and new to conversion Z's. I'm building a 78 280z from scratch. Tearing it all apart, painting the chassis, new interior, and most importantly, new engine. I've got a 350 LS2 Chevy engine ordered. However, I have heard of a transmission out there that can function in dual modes. IF you want it to be automatic, you simply shift it into drive. However, if you want to feel the thrill of manually shifting a sports car, you can shift manually into all gears. My Question is, can i get a transmission like this for a chevy 350 LS2? I would really like to get a 6-speed, too. I know ford makes a tranny for their Lincoln LS models just like this, i just need to know if someone makes it for Chevy. Thanks for any help you can give me. TO ATZ 78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFantaZ Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 You probably won't want one, but the TH-350 can be made to shift like that with a shift kit. It will hold 1st and 2nd as long as you want. I assume you are accelerating when you shift to Drive, which will keep it in 3rd all the way up. Sorry if it's not what you're looking for. I am in the process of rebuilding a Ford 4R70W which includes a shift kit which will hold 1st and 2nd as long as you want. I'm pretty sure it can be done for the TH-700R4 and the 4L60E/80E's as well. Answer: shift kit from Trans-go, B&M, Fairbanks, etc. or perhaps even a custom chip can do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
