Ok, so my 700 is taking a dump on me. I've been looking at summit at either a B&M or TCI trans. Im looking at them because of their credit card offer of 0% for a year but with 3 payments... I Know I should most likely go with one of the probuilt ones, and truthfully that Is what I want. What should I do? Do the probuilt ones come with a convertor? What brand converter/stall should I get? Its an 84 z28 305 HO, 3.73 gears, Hooker shortys & Cat back, edelbrock intake, Demon carb, Mallory Ignition. Nothing special on the inside, but I think its an 86 305, not an 84. I eventually plan to get a mild 350 to drop in, something with a lot of torque to get me out of the hole, So I want a trans that will last, and work good. I do a lot of highway, so I also want the 3-4 upshift like my current trans has (I installed the police package upshift kit a long time ago). What do you guys think my best option is?

 

anybody?

 

Buy the ProBuilt trans. You'll kick yourself if you don't. Get Dana to set you up with a Continental converter too. You can go lokcup or non lockup. Tell him you want the 3/4 upshift too.

One thing I've learned is that you should never sacrifice what you really want because it is a little more expensive. Ultimately you'll be unhappy with it, and then you are stuck with something you really don't want. You can't recoupe your investment trying to sell the thing you have, so dumping it and buying the one you wanted at the beginning isn't an option. Every time you drive the car it will bug you. Just save up a little longer, or finance it out as credit card debt. You'll be happy you did.
