My friend has a 1986 Omni GLH-T with the factory 5-speed. A few months back the transmission made a noise and now it only has a couple of gears.
He was running 20 p.s.i. at the time. He has not torn it down yet and is thinking about switching over to the A413 auto. He has one of these from another car.
He wants to know what would be involved in making the switch. Will the current axels work, and what kind of shifter would be required. Does the A413 use one or two cables, and would an aftermarket shifter work as he owns a speed shop and has access to them.
If the A413 is a bad idea what is the best 5-speed to use? I myself use both the A555 and A568 in my cars but I'm not sure what to recommend for the Omni.
Any info you have will be appreciated as I want to see him get the Omni back on the road so he can go with us on the Hot Rod Power Tour this year.
Thanks,
