I thought you were going to go with the M6 conversion?
You should really jump on this deal,

I agree that is a great deal. If you are building this car for the street the M6 is much more fun to play with. I adds a whole new dimention to the experience. If you are building a 1420 race car, keep the auto.Originally posted by DJ Taso
But to answer your question... The shifters for the autos do not add any performance improvement. You are best off letting the computer shift it.Tracy

You know, the automatic transmission was originally designed so women would be able to drive.

A TH400 with a manual reverse pattern valve body and a ratchet shifter puts a lot of the fun back in driving an automatic. It is the first performance automatic I ever owned, and its not all that bad compared to my T56. The big "loss" is the inability to get engine braking when downshifting, but that's just the result of using the manual valve body.
My wife is still trying to understand why anyone would want to manually shift an automatic
