Ok, this might be a really bad idea.
I'm starting to think I should do a 5 speed swap in my '88 vert.
If I find a nice donor car that's in otherwise great condition, is there any reason I couldn't install the auto from my car into the donor, and sell it after I do the swap? This way, I'll be reasonably sure I'm getting decent 5 speed (I'll drive it), and I won't be taking an otherwise good car off the road.
I don't like the idea of just getting a used trans that I can't feel move through the gears under power, so I suppose the alternative is find a rebuilt, or a used trans with a warranty.
Like I said, just a thought, so be nice. :)
