Import Starion/sapporo auto. 4 speed O/D. Try putting a wanted ad on Austarion.
Is it for big HP & racing or a mild street car?

I am thinking that maybe you need something a little stronger than the OD Starion box :think:

I have a starion auto if you are interested.
I'm pretty sure these were also used in the VL turbo and aftermarket stuff like shift kits are readily available.
Pick up in Bendigo. $150 and it's yours,
Last time I drove the car the auto was faultless, the engine was removed and fitted to my GK GSR.
JA starion.

I build GM trans adaptors for either the wide block G54b or the first and second gen 4G63 .
I added some side mounting motor mounts in my latest designs, for guys that wanted a mid plate

I used a Toyota starter with a provided pinion gear to fit the GM flywheel

these are the first heat treated couplers, they allow you to use the standard GM flywheel with the swap, keeping the price down

You can use a wide block manual bellhousing to adapt a c4 with a bit of work they fit as that is the set up that was in Con's old sigma either that or if you keep leaning on it you will be looking for an auto scorpion block as the sigma block will eventually fail.

Or use the trans adaptor above but you may need to relieve the tunnel a bit to make it fit.
