Re: Need some transmission advice...

I would sell or trade the DBW throttle body and wiring harness (LS1tech) and pick up a DBC set. Add the bowtieoverdrives LS1 TV kit and you're set. The only cost should be the TV kit.

Downsides. If you were planning on running cruise control it will be a little harder with DBC, and you need a VSS signal for the ECM I believe.

I have been thinking about using a 700R4 with a cable driven speedo for my swap so I could keep the stock guages. Jagsthatrun.com has a VSS converter that goes in line with the speedo cable for $60.

EDIT: You probably know, but you will need a flywheel spacer and bolts for the 700R4 but these can be had for around $40.
