Peter -

I looked at the 740 swap a year and half ago and it seemed pretty pricey for a 4 speed auto, unless you can install it yourself.

I opted for the super 10 as you might remember and it was a 100% improvement over the standard 10, so for you and that 9 speed it would be even better. I also went with a new clutch, which was still linkage over hydraulic, but that was also a real big improvement.

I will say though I cant wait for my automatic on the new one.
