Well my tranny dosent shift from 1st in to 2nd in less i floor it so i have to get a rebuild.So the guy is going to charge me $980 with redline performance clutch packs.So was wondering if this is a little much also how would i convert it to a manual shifting auto matic think about getting the dualgate shifter.Also i heard that if you buy a higher stall converter that if you dont take off everytime at the rpm range that its rated at.That the cltuches will burn up faster.One more thing what are some things i can buy to beef up the trans im really lookinf towards a supercharged 383 stroker running about 8psi.

 

if the price includes R&R i'd say it's a great price, even too cheap. if R&R isn't included i'm not sure. flat rate on a rebuild should only be a few hours, 3 or so i'd guess. you ought to be able to price rebuild parts from local parts store and ever a rebuilt trans to compare prices.

 

That sounds like the price for a rebuild only. What other upgrades are they going to do or is it just a stock rebuild?

 

performance clutch bands are include in the rebuild he said it would take him 3 days.And tranny fluid is included.

 

Compare it to this http://www.pro-built.net/index.cfm?f...t&productid=35 and see what he can do for you.

 

Theres a shop in Orlando that does it for $850. All upgrades

 

Or you could do it yourself in a weekend for the $200's.

 

whoops, wrong quote

 

forget this im going with the T56 now that i got the money for it.

 

What do you think the hp/tq rating of that set up is?? I am in need of a tranny (been through 4 of them so far), and this time, I want a professionally built, bullet proof transmission that will last!! You are one of the ten dealers I am considering. Thanks in advanced.

As long as you are using a 10" or smaller diameter torque converter, the Street/Strip unit will hold 550+ HP, if you need it to handle more?, then the "Limited Street" will take about 625-650 HP max. If this helps?, my comeback rate is less than 5%, and I do "honor" my warrantys. If you have any questions, let me know?

 

I am using a Midwest 3500 stall 12" converter with a 9" lock up converion. It is rated at 600 hp. I'm going to get it re-stalled to 2400-2600 rpm and have it tightened. Will this be adequate with the "limited street" tranny? My current setup is a stock 350 TPI, with SLP headers, dual random tech cats, SLP cat back, other bolt ons which has put down 241/338 n/a to the wheels on a stock chip and stock timing. I have recently added a 100hp of nitrous (which I believed killed the tranny). I will be building a 383 forged stroker and possibly up the nitrous to 250hp. This will be a daily driven street car that will see occasional track time (for fun). I do run a tranny cooler BTW, and external tranny filter with temp sending unit. Power output of the stroker n/a is to be in the 475-525 range (pending cam and heads). Will this be the right transmission for me? And if not, do you have a recomendation? I do appreciate your responses thus far. Thanks.
