all this trailer talk is bullSHIT. You even said in the beginning that this car will be STREET driven. Make it so, or you’re just one of those guys with a quick car that needs a truck to tow it. I vote, do whatever trans is going to allow you to drive the car wherever you want. Its bad enough this thing is going to be incapable of taking a corner ! :hug ---

I dont see why I cant limp it 10 miles to meet up at a run spot and chill after wards. Just watch the trans temps because the converter wouldn’t be fully locked while cruising. Then again, unless I want to keep a steady law abiding speed even a 4 speed auto with a big stall wont like life riding around 3,000 for long distances now will it. so either way who knows how it will work with what ever box I run behind it. Its the first go around for something like this ever, so i can only base my assumptions around other similar weight/power cars like RX7’s, 240’s etc were built. Speaking of which, there is a black RX7 with a glide and a 1400hp turbo LS, runs 8’s and he shot a 20 min video of him rolling around the city messing around, so if he can do it, no reason I cant. but yeah. it will never take a turn! lol. even parking that spool will make things noisy! ---

You’d have electronic lockup with the 4L80e even with a big stall, no problem there. Does the glide even offer a lock-up converter? ---

Google says it’s not mechanically possible to have a lock-up stall on a 'glide. ---

alot of ppl here seem to have zero knowledge about automatic transmissions. and dont tell me its not fun to drive. its just a clutchless shift, up and down. autos take big power performance to a whole new level. ---

no you can’t get lockup for a glide. A glide is a man-pants-only transmission not made for such faggotry. :thumb ---

Understood, but the 4L80e is still the superior street transmission when you have PCM that can control it. ---

Plus they aren’t that hard to build, get a junkyard trans a rebuild book and the parts you want and get to work. Honestly a lot of the stuff you’ve already done is harder. ---

I saw 2 rwd. VW’s running 4l80’s yesterday run the glide and dare to be different. I mean didn’t u read the handbook on turning a 2004 jetta community college sorority girl vehicle into this before you started this process. I’m just fed up with this entire build.
