The suspension seems fine, the brakes OK as long as you drive sensibly, but the stock clutch isn't up to it. Starting off on even a gentle upward incline just really smokes the clutch. I'm planning to swap out my 3-speed manual for either a TH400 or a TH2004R to make towing a little more comfortable.

If your gonna tow, better make it a 700R4 instead. TH2004R is not built for towing.
