Looking around for a transmission and came across these:

wondering if its worth the hassle over a th400?

I like the idea of the T400 because of it's simplicity. There's no electronics to worry about and if something goes wrong there easy and cheap to fix.

I think the 4L80E would be pricy to build up and fix if something went wrong. It would also depend on if you where after an overdrive or not.

Cheers Mick.

The one I have the link for is full manual. Quick research shows its about 1k more then a th400. I didn't realise the 4L80E could be a 4L80!
