This clutch definitely hits harder than its predecessors.
Gonn'a have to watch it pounding it on the shifts--that poor 12 bolt's already hacked out parts once.

Pretty sure the Legend trans in the Chevelle is on it's way out. It's making some very unhappy noises and there's a new driveline vibration that definitely isn't engine related. Not sure where I'm going to go from here.

Geez...sounds like the trans could be legendary junk.
 Jerico or G-Force with a road race slider?

Eric- thabks for continuing to update thia thread and sharing both the good parts as well as the challe ges! A TH400 will give you an inexpensive baseline and some time to enjoy the car for what it is- an excellent dream car realized. You can alway put a 4 speed in again- or any maual.
I just think you would NOT be wasting your time trying it out with a friendly automatic.

It would take another $3K to swap the car to a 400 Turbo at this point--build the trans, add an Ultra Bell, ATI converter, shifter + requisite fab work to install it, trans lines & cooler, plus another driveshaft.
Not happening. Calling the place I bought the trans from tomorrow to see if I can arrange a return to Legend to get this box fixed or if I get to eat a $4K+ trans. God only knows how much more down-time this will add--probably wouldn't be able to get the car out again this year. There's a very, VERY strong probability I'm just going to cut my losses on this car and sell it. I'm so sick of looking at it's not funny. I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy it at this point.
