    actually, the t2 on the end means it automatically shifts the top 2 gears, but I dont remember if it retains this function when you convert it to a 13.

    thats what I thought, when you convert it over to 13 it does away with the auto t2, thanks fyda.

    So my trans went out on my 99 pete379 and we replaced it with a reman trans. Matched the numbers and put it in but now my rpms are way higher. Any answers?

    What model came out and what went in? Sounds like a possible scenario could be you now have a .87 instead of .73 final od? Are your rpms about 200 higher than before
