I have now swapped it out for a rebuilt J-type from John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics. Though the "new" transmission is now installed (with necessary modifications to the rear mounting bracket) mechanically, I have a few questions. I am wondering if anyone else has changed from an A-type to a J-type. Among my questions is: Since the J-type uses no overdrive relay, what does one do with the wires that are presently connected to the OD relay my A-type needed? Also, since the A-type functions in 2nd, 3rd and fourth and the J-type only in 3rd and fourth, what happens with the "extra" wires at the interlock switches there?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#000099'>Yes, I have Dan Masters' book...
