BCG,

If you have no whine in any of the gears, then yes, well worth the investment in time and maybe some money to swap it in.

I swapped out my 89' slush-o-matic once it failed in 2013 at 330k, and tossed in a junk yard M47.

The car now has on it 390k and the transmission is bullet proof, though it is weak, I would never put this thing behind a turbo as KittysGreyVolvo has stated.

I would like to say that KittysGreyVolvo may not be completely correct on the car being an LH-Jetronic 3.1. The short answer is, maybe. You'll have to check the AMM or TPS for sure as they are different from the LH-Jetronic 2.4. I learned this lesson the hard way when I stated what Kitty did and was quickly put in my place.

Any ways, good luck with it if you decide to move forward with it. It took me about a month of working nights to get it all done. It was very nice once it was in and very responsive as opposed the slush-o-matic that came out of it.

Regards,

Matt
