Re: IML: Doing a trans tune up by myself

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Matt, If you plan, or have to replace the trans. compete try and find the A-998, orA-999. These transmissions are a heaver duty version of your A904LA. They don't have the Lock-Up converter,but I think its a better choice, and should be less costly than the A904LA Lock- Up Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.
