I have a 88 turbo automatic. From high boosting my transmission is going to crap. I have heard of people puting 2 speed power glides in their mkiii, I was woundering what I would need to do to install one and how difficult would it be to do so?

is this car purely drag? I hope minimal of street driving on it. I imagine it would need custom work. But I will let someone that has ACTAULLY done the swap chime in.

Greddy TD-06SH
Tanabe SS DP
Tanabe Hyper Medallion Exhaust
Fluidyne Aluminum radiator
RPS Stage three clutch
New brakes all around
HKS EVC III
HKS FCD
Supra MKIV 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 in back

Swapping the TH400 into a Supra is a much more popular swap. Due to the relatively high weight of a Supra the three speed with it's lower gearing seems to run faster most of the time. Here is a link to some pictures that we took when we were mocking up this swap in a GenIV for our soon to be released kit. http://www.importperformancetrans.com/view_pics.cgi

I'm working on it. The kit will be for a TH400 but should be easily adaptable to the 350 with different trans mount positioning and a different driveshaft yoke. Actually it should work for a 'Glide as well, but the mount system would need to be pretty seriously moved around.

one reason I was wanting to know how to do it is because I already have a two speed in my garage.
