If you're looking for an automatic, I would go with the TH350.

Unless you do NOT intend to drive any extended distance at highway speeds, I would suggest an overdrive transmission like a TH200-4R or TH700-R4.

I hate to hijack your thread, but will an overdrive auto fit under a small hump floor?

All day long. They are smaller in girth than a TH400. Well, the 4L80 is about the same size as the 400, but the 200 & 700 are slimmer.

You're the one who sent that? I was going nuts trying to figure out who it was. Honestly, I didn't have a clue. A very belated thanks and apology to you.
