ok here is the deal.... i have just gone through my 4th tranny in 2 years... i am now on my 5th... i am tired of having my tranny rebuilt at like 900 bucks... get it warrantied 1 time then the warranty is voided... will these trannys hold up good with a sat night special converter and a cooler?

------------------
305, TPI,compucam 2030 cam, air foil, 8.8 wires, accel super coil, dynomax headers, custom y-pipe, cut out, 80 series flowmaster, just installed my 3.08 posi disc brake setup...(3.42-3.73 on the way). and a stage 4 chip :0). hittin a sad 15.1 after the chip with 2.73 open diff....

 

I am not one to recommend TCI.

As to your other trannies, what tranny is it (700 I assume?) and how do they manage to warranty it once and no more? Is that why the $900 price?

 

no i got a good deal on the tranny cause i work at oreilly auto parts and he was a customer of ours... hooked me up till i broke them....and what would u suggest on the tranny... i can do it my self just dont want to... lol

 

and yes 700r4

 

Just so I am clear on this, for the lower price he shorted you on the warranty (and perhaps quality too)?

could have been... told him we were gonna sue and he said he would fix it... so its in the shop right now... but i wanna build a tranny or get 1 that is gonna last longer than 6 months at a time..... what u suggest?

 

Have him start by using the TransGo Reprogramming Kit and Pump Ring Kit. Next is all Borg Warner frictions.

 

ok well he isnt gonna install my parts.. he is warrenting out the old 1's so i am gonna have 2 build it...

 

i did have a TCI box and the change was far too hard and drivability for everyday use was awful.
I replaced it 3 years ago with a B&M and ive had no probs.Its a real smooth gearchange when driving slow or in town but when you hit the loud pedal it really wakes up with nice firm shifts.
