I have someone in Boyertown Pa, that builds for me when I get overloaded. He has been building for me for the past several years with very little problems. He builds exactly the way that I do as I supply everything for him, and comes with the same warranty. Which torque converter are you planning on using? If you want him to build this for you since he is closer than I am, let me know?

I had this transmission built by you several years ago. I have had some problems with it from the beginning. The transmission does not always want to shift into third gear and at the top of third gear it goes into nuetral and won't stay in 4th at full throttle. I purchased it at least 5 years ago and have not done alot with the car since then as I had some heatlh problems to deal with. I did talk with Dana on the phone in the beginning and he felt that it was something (I don't remeber what) that would require taking the front pump out to fix. Since it work some of the time and given my health issues at the time I decided to just live with it.

Since you built this transmission and it does not have more than 3,000 miles on it would some of the parts be able to be used again and keep the cost down?

I would have interest in having your person in PA do the work.

I appreciate your reply.
