02J tranny part pictures was: Re: 350hp with 8vTransmission?02A/02J longevity?



They definately look beefier...  Is the 02A identical to the 02J in 
beffiness?  

To those interested, I know a company that is selling kits to convert those 
trannies to mechanical shifter/cable clutch, for the ease of install in other 
vehicles (not to mention better feel)...  If there is any interest, I will 
post pics and more info...
