sorrowfulkiller · 03-10-2007, 12:50 AM

Theres this guy on grandamgt.com that's working on getting some rebuilt trannies for a decent price, looks like he's done a lot of research and he'll put in a LSD for you too, check it out.

I'm thinking after I get the turbo in my car I'll get my tranny rebuilt with an lsd to handle the abuse.

Same guy I've talked a lot with on BlackJack's site www.nbodypower.com. He seems like a pretty good guy and you cannot beat the prices he's got for a fully built transmission. I've already got mine priced out

How much for yours then? What are you all including?

Spilner521 · 03-15-2007, 12:09 AM

Including a bunch of stronger internal parts, Blue Plate clutches, high flow pump, stronger pump shaft, 2560 stall converter, and LSD, final price is $1647 without shipping. Shipping shouldn't be a whole lot, plus I'll be using synthetic fluid and a fluid cooler. Should be able to handle some serious power and torque.

yup, he sounds like he has some pretty hot deals, for certain.

Why not just have it built before the turbo so you don't toast anything and have a useable transmission to build on?

Isn't it obvious? no motivation like being unable to drive it.....I put off doing the 4t65 swap because I'm a great procrastinator. Once I blew my only trans, I got highly motivated to do the swap

jackal2000 · 03-19-2007, 10:52 PM

what if the one he built breaks?

That and i cant afford both, so turbo and nurse the stocker until i can afford a new one. Then once my new one shows up i get to turn up the boost and kick a few downshifts until it blows up, tow it home and install the new one.

hahaha, I love your optimism.....there's no such thing as "nursing a turbo". Sooner or later, the greed for boost will get ya

alerored04 · 03-20-2007, 11:52 AM

yeah i figured it would, but i need to allow a little time for the funds to replenish so i can afford that new tranny. Install shouldnt be a problem, jeremy said he would help me with it. And that way i can learn from him rather than pay someone since i dont have access to a tranny jack and that stuff, otherwise i would try it myself. Im not expecting more than 3,000 out of the tranny that i have now. Oh well its got 110,000 on it, im due for a new one anyway.

It won't. That's the point of building a tranny with stronger, better performing parts, so that it doesn't break.

If it does, I'd be having a friendly conversation with the guy who built it...

Stay away from the valve body as much as possible...they are built in clean rooms for a reason.
