Default tranny decision

I have a 400 tranny but i want to change to a glide, i would be doing more street driving than track time, does it make sense to swap?

Never did like a glide for a driver. I'd stick with the 400. Just my preference.

I love my glide on the street. i can cruise all around town in low gear, up to say 45mph and then jump on the highway and go to high gear. So pretty much i have no shifting to do. Remember if you have a large stall convertor, you should always cruise at a rpm above the convertor being locked up, with a three speed this is hard in town with all the starting, stoping and shifting.

Stick with the TH400. Better choice than the glide.
