You know, its funny because when i had my imp and it was on the first/original tranny i drove the hell out of it and made it past 50K. Only reason it went out was because the geniuses at the deal put power steering in the tranny.

Call Tripple Edge Performance. They can build it or sell you some parts that will help. I put their valve body in, shift kit, pressure relief, and clutch shims. I also went with an Overkill Tune. Had a local shop rebuild it and it's teh way it should have origionally been now. Shifts quick but smooth if I'm light on the gas but will hit hard when my foot is in it. MUCH MUCH better than origional!!!
