B&M or TCI 700r4

Hey guys I need your advice. I need to replace the the 700r4 in the car now. Its the stock trans, has a lot of miles and is slipping bad. My car is lightly modified, its a stock L98 with headers and a catback.

Is anybody running a B&M transmission or a TCI transmission? I've heard bad stories about these companies and I wanted to see if they were true before I bought a transmission from these companies.

Why do these transmissions fail? Are they just not built properly or do the parts they use not up to the job?

lol, pro built automatics, specializes in auto tranny's.

B&M and TCI are not the greatest, talk to the guys at probuilt, he might be a great resource.

also try megaraptor. cant remember what the web site is, just google it. lots of info

Re: B&M or TCI 700r4

Ha ha okay so these companies aren't worth my time. I looked on the probuilt website. Do you guys make each tranny custom for each customer? I've got a friend with a probuilt trans in his car and he has been very pleased with it.
