Millions of people have. It's the most common brand of remanufactured TC on the market.

They mostly make production-line type stock rebuilds. For improved performance, I'd go somewhere else; but for a reliable stock replacement, they're... a reliable stock replacement.

I use Daaco stock replacements in all the stock rebuilds that I do. They seem pretty good. I still haven't decided what I'm gonna do come time to get one for my car, but I have heard quite a bit of good stuff about Continental.

I have been a distributor for Continental going on 22 years. All of my non-lockup Performance 2004R's & 700R4's get a 10" TC from them. In Heavy Duty non-lockups we use the super tight 11" TC. I have had tremendous success with them over the years (less than 5% come back). My Performance lockups are almost always Precision Industries 9.5" Vigilante. Occasionally I use the modified 12" (stock lockup type) in my Heavy Duty applications from Continental. If you need one call me (800 7763288) or Kris at Continental.
Hope This Helps!!!
