Here is one in Dallas with the proper adapter for your transmission.
Overdrive unit $800.00

That is a far cry from the ~$3000 for a new gear vendors.
I installed one or the other in a Chevy truck for a customer once, the guy was not happy. When he shifted it, it felt like you got hit by a Mack truck from behind. I think it was a US Gear unit but I can't remember. I called the company, they said, "Hey, it shifts hard."

Anyway, that's not a bad price even if it shifts hard, I suspect his technique was off a bit, but I have too many irons in the fire right now and not enough cash flow to spring for that right now but thanks for the heads up.
