    All things equal yes... With some dependence on how good you are on the clutch
    Paint don't make it no faster

    Put a Gear Vendors OD on the TH400 and you get a thrifty 6 speed automatic. You control the OD unit with a button on the shifter. Problem is cost. $2500 for the OD unit ................
