Question about the switch pitch converters in the TH425. I am restoring a 67 Cutlass and have 2 Jetaway transmissions both with SP converters. Are these the same as what is used in the TH 425 and are they of any use or value to the GMC? I'm going with a TH 350 and won't be using the Jetaway's. Thanks.

Street racer really like the convertors from those Jetaways for their T400
switchpitch trannys. Other than that, the trannys are nowhere.

If as Gary says the Jetaway converters will work with the TH400/425, do not send it to the scrap yard. Those converters are hard to come by. If no-one else is interested I'd bet that Manny would take them. JMHO

Call Manny Travao. If he says they are junk then they are.

Larry,

The T400/T425 converter is a 13" diameter piece. The Jetaway is 12". I've
only used hi-stall in mine a few times. I'm not sure there's
any real need for more stall in a GMCMH. But, what do I know?

I have one that I offered to Manny a while ago. He wasn't interested then but you might try him again. They certainly would create more heat in a GMC application though...
