Automatic shift kit For Holden V8?

Recommended Posts

Ever since owning a V8 Holden Adventra and now a HSV Avalanche I've always thought that they need to be manual. Was considering converting the HSV into a manual but that seems like too much of a mission.

Over the last few days I've been reading about Transgo shift kits (something like this:  http://www.turboindustries.com.au/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=4aae67c7-7a07-417e-b70b-045645ffd328) which has got me thinking is the way to go (eventually). From what I've read the Transgo 2 shift kit seems to be the most practical option as opposed to a full manual kit. The actual conversion seems straight forward.

As I'm not that knowledgeable about these things -

anyone had experience with this sort of thing? Good and bad points of conversion, what kind of cost would it be, what do I need to consider - torque converter, HD trans cooler, rebuild gearbox first, etc.

Cheers
