Off topic, you guys are saying my 98 would be faster if I put a 5 speed in it? Mine is an AODE.
a T-5 will be faster than a stock AOD-E, a T-5 is about 30#s lighter, lower first gear, and if you can shift, you will have quicker shifts.
However a purpose built automatic will be faster, but you give up some driveability.
