    It "could" work but it won't last long. You need to get a auto trans out of a turbo car as a starting point for the beefier parts.

    What year is the Shadow?

    Proper turbo tranny's are getting harder to find, if you can't find one or aren't sure its a turbo one, best to buy a core, then buy a Neon or later model Caravan 3 speed and rob the guts. Buy the proper turbo converter. Do you want lock up? Are you drag racing it?

    You can reuse your OE SMEC but it might not idle properly in gear, if not, just have Shelgame or FWD make you a new cal.

    My previous advice stands, or contact Cliff Ramsdel on a built trans and get a Converter from Coan, Pats and there are a few others. Not Hugh's and not TCS.
