Hahaha yeah, literally the only true negative about the car.

As far as the swap, and the trans... It was done by BraveR off the 210, and they did the complete Aristo swap, including trans. It is a J3 trans, and the same exact trans (with the exception of a few minor outside differences to suit the different chassis) as the 93.5-up Toyota Supra TT. It is currently using the stock stall converter, and everything is holding up great. These transmissions have been known to take 500hp, but it is all in how you treat them.. If you are manually downshifting, raping the car, and doing brake stands, then you shouldn't expect ANY trans to hold up for long. At anything more than 500 wheel hp, and you would want to send it out to boost logic to be built. There are no weird quirks whatsoever, and the car runs like it was built to be this way from the factory.

One more thing... The trans shifts FAST!! It is actually pretty surprising. It feels as if it is factory built (which, to an extent, it is). You'd really have to see it in person to truly appreciate the car. It is a beast.
