thanks for the input, the shop does nothing but transmissions, plus the guy
has a sweet gen 2 dak with the 318. that sounds great.i believe he has a
manual trans though.

on a side note i put the deep trans pan on. when i tried to go put it on the
bolts that were supplied by mopar were too short, too be able to extend the
filter down lower. i had to go out and get longer bolts.
