The life of a Magnum (and 46RE question)

The OD trans in my 94 van also uses the old paper style trans filter. I had a guy that wanted the van for the trans but it snowed the weekend he was coming from WI and never heard back from him. It will be going to the junk yard as soon as I finish yanking spare parts for my other 94. All v8 vans had an OD. The 6 cylinders were all 3 spd'd. They didn't generate enough power to operate the OD properly. The v8 actually gets better mpg
