Thanks Mike.
That section and the rest of the document was great reading.
Loved the old time GM ad.
I have lots of genuine newspaper ads fro my 25 Chev.

Question:
Has anyone fitted a 4L80E overdrive transmission into a Shadow?
Or in fact any overdrive unit?

Pat, Gearvendors engineered an overdrive for the TH400. Pricey at 1800USD...

Hi Jean,
Thanks for the reply.

They do seem to be a good unit.

I followed this up on another post with an image of a Gearvendor unit actually on a US TH400.
I fear that they will not fit due to the electronic shift actuator.

I don't know if he fits them, but this guy manufactures and overhauls them. Useful for those of us lucky enough to live in God's own county!
