I'm thinking about using a 915 behind my 3.6 teener. AutoAtlanta makes a 916 kit for ah.. Well a few bucks!

Just wondering if anyone else has bought their kit and can give me feedback on the setup?

Also, any feedback on reversing the 915 would also be helpful. I understand the process is "fairly" simple. Especially when compared to a G50 installation. I believe you just flip the rear-end and machine the casing for it to fit reversed.

I searched the garage forum for anything on 915 transmissions but got zero results.

THANKS!
