B&M deep tranny pan installed...
My tranny would bounce the limiter several times before shifting. Ofcourse I thought it was slipping at first. Then I was told that a deep tranny pan may fix the problem. Well, I got one on there and the tranny shifts when it should. The force holding the fluid towards the back didn't allow enough pressure to shift the car. Man, I am glad I spend 140 bucks instead of several hundred on a tranny rebuild. Just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone else had the issue recently. I had heard this was a problem with higher horsepower cars but I'm a measly minor bolt on car.

The droveshaft loop is part of the crossmember.

The converter will cause your shifts to soften up allot. The shift kit will make them hard and fast.
