    There were a few evolutions of the Auto Trans, two types in these pics. The one fitted in the car ( J- Car ) has Ron Fournier working on it.
    I believe the people rebuilding the car Wal mentioned posted some pics some time ago on this site.

    Comparing the two auto boxes, the installed version is enormous.
    Must have been a huge weight penalty to drag around, as well as the slush box inefficiency.

    The larger installed version has actual Auto Trans clutch packs & planetary gears IIRC, the other trans pictured uses dog engagement gears. The torque converter apparently was derived from a Ford falcon auto, probably to give a higher stall speed to match cam etc of engine. For scale purposes the final drive section is ~275mm long.
