So it is a good trans? Will it take some abuse ? Sounds like things are getting easier and easier. Found a solid running 5.9 for $450. Hear it run and pull it outta a rear ended Dakota. Can you use a aftermarket floor shifter with the a500? Would like to get ride of column shift and linkage for header clearance

Yup. Pretty simple trans. It's a 998/999 with an OD tailshaft. Built a bunch of 'em (and 518's) that'll take some abuse. Got two of 'em out in the shed waiting to find homes.

Aftermarket floor shifter shouldn't be an issue. Like I said, the switch turns the OD on and off and it's pressure switch that controls when it shifts into OD once it reaches 45 or so. All hydraulic with the switch on the dash controlling the on/off feature. Other than that, it's the shifter that controls the first three gears.
