Probably not.

You basically have to decide whether to pony up for a rebuild/enhancement now, or pull the tranny out later and do it after it gives up.

Were you planning on a converter upgrade?

Re: 383 stock 700r4

ya thats kind of what I was guessing I was just wondering how long the tranny may last? I know thats an imposible question to answer but I just realy was trying to convince my self that it may last for awhile atleast LOL and yes i have a 3500 stall.
