Gearbox 700R4 in Clipper 5647

Posted by Jan Alvemark On 2016/3/13 5:22:06

As my 2265-9 is getting finished I start to plan for the 5647. As our car club has all our meetings up on mountain roads I don't dare to take my 5647 to them. I experienced a loss of brakes due to overheating taking it for a test drive a couple of years ago. It's been on a lift in my garage since then :(
I seriously thinking of swapping the Ultramatic for a 700R4 with a Bentsen adaptor to get the possibility to use engine brake and also better miles/gallon (0,7 to 1 ratio in 4th).

Any opinions/experiences on this?
