Was the car a factory five speed? Since the engine was changed maybe it also has a different five speed trans. Keep fresh high quality fluid in it and don't push it hard.
Joe, Is the T-50 the same trans that was in 76' Starfire? I had one with the Buick V-6 and the owners manual advised to add a 90 degree pipe fitting to the fill plug and top that with extra fluid while towing. Wasn't clear on whether they meant towing a boat/trailer or while the car was being towed by an RV etc. I added the fitting, towed a boat a lot and never had a problem.
