I assume you are looking for a manual trans? Is the car a manual or automatic currently?

Check out http://gearvendors.com/hrgm3s.html

That's what I'm going with in the Cutlass. It's a lot cheaper than converting to manual.

Grab a 200R4 rebuild.

Can be build strong enoughfor behind an Olds, and with a lower 1st gear than the 700R4, a .67 overdrive, and a dual bellhousing bolt pattern, you really can't go wrong IMHO

This is the path I'm currently persuing, swapping out the 2-spd Jetaway for a 200-4R. That should tame the highway RPMs w/ my 3.90 rear gear.
