OK, so I know that conventional wisdom says that M47s are too weak behind turbo motors, but has anyone done this/got solid info? I've got a complete manual...
overdrive has a pump which is run of the shaft. the solenoid opens an oil path from the pump to the internal overdrive clutch. So car needs to be moving from...
M47 should be fine if you don't drive the car hard. An iron case M46 with J type overdrive unit (ex 240) will be of similar strength to an M47. The stronger...
The shock of sudden torque application is what breaks driveline components. If you have a fair bit of torque but drive like a granny, you can keep weak ...
