5-speed Swap?

Re: 5-speed Swap?

Well I just used 6000 RPMs because When It would shift at 5500 or so, it would fall into the 3000's. What shift points would you recommend?

And yeah, I like the firm shifts but I questioned if that was good or not for the tranny. Im not really sure what converter to put in it if I was going to do so.

4.10's then? I just dont know what direction to go with this car to make it run. I just spent 3K on the rebuild of the motor. It spun a bearing when I was messing with this 330I on the freeway.

If it would allow me to upload pictures, I could show you guys what I have done so far.

Well the advice has been given, the auto is stout enough to handle any power you throw at it.

I never felt like my sixxer was slacking shifting at the stock 5700 rpm, even as an auto, after all it is only a six cylinder. I wanted the 5 speed because I simply enjoy driving the standard more. The most I did was cam, and I knew I was never going to hit any more horsepower than the T5 could handle, so I went for it.
