Re: BW T-35 Auto Trans

[Glenn Merrell <gmerrel@domain.elided>]

HEllo Chuck,
	There is also a bolt up conversion to a Jaguar 4 speed automatic transmission
that is supposed to be an absolute dream, reduces revs, increases top end speed
a bit, shifts like cutting through warm butter.  It is sourced from the UK, but
I'll bet there are adapters that can be bought and use a Jag tranny here in the
US.

Regards,
Glenn  Merrell
