    What were you thinking!

    These "power up engines" were sold to give the big barge a semblance of power, without actually providing any whatsoever!

    Time for a new box, lots available just swap bellhousings if you can only find a trans from a JZ or UZ engined car.

    Yep forward clutchpacks are gone. Either rebuild the transmission or manual swap. Doing skids and launches will do that..
