First of all, Welcome to TGO!

Too bad about your trans. But, look on the bright side now you're in the game to upgrade. Let the fun and research begin!

A lifetime warranty comes with the stage 2 Performance Auto package sold by Summit Racing, of course you'll pay a little extra for the insurance but it includes everything needed to get you back on the road. The list of aftermarket re-manufactures is extensive and it comes down to what you have in the bank and what you need. Check out, Eatmyshift or Monster transmissions, BowtieOverdrive and one of my fav's Gearstar. I did not list the links because you really need to invest the time to do your homework before you make the plung. Also, be sure and check out the vendors on this site too.

BTW you have a 700r4 auto

Good luck!

Re: What Transmission Do I Need To Buy?

yes like he said you have a 700r4. there is a few options for you. you can alwasy replace the 700 which is a good way to go por you can get a turbo350 which i prefer. if your putting in a new trans make sure you get a shiftkit. if u need a 700r4 send me a message mines coming out soon.
