If you compare the size of the planetaries in the two units, the 4-Bolt is much sturdier looking. However, both transmissions would be a great unit.

I would like an overdrive in my W116.120 behind the 617.950 engine. I think that would be a great modification, especially for highway cruising...Bert

I agree that would be a nice modification...........
