Michael and Tom,
Before I start savings my nickels and dimes and get in line for one of your miracle trannies a question or two please. As one of your "other" potential consumer group I wouldn't want to experience jarring shifts unless provoked. Do your mods drastically change the "character" of the box ,floabt? And, will it, with proper cooling, be a "final solution" for those of us bound to our cars for life? Please, say no.....and yes!!

Glenn

There won't be rebuild kits. There are complete built transmissions. You can get them directly from me or either of the two Toms. If you get them from me the from me then the entire transmission will have been built by me. If you get them from either of the two Toms then the valve body will have been built by me and the rest of the transmission built with my parts by the Tom you are buying it from. In any case, the complete built transmission is $2,700.

I guess these questions are propperly addressed to me since I'm the one who developed the build.

You can expect these transmissions to last extremely well. The frictions used withstand wear under daily driving conditions better than the oem frictions do. Then build replaces all of the seals so you are starting like you're at day 1 not year 15 and the seals which are prone to failure aren't just being replaced but replaced with better ones. Put together with the circuit pressure modifications which increase the holding power of the clutches so that they see less slippage and wear we should expect these transmissions to hold up a very long time.

I would characterize the shift as fast not jarring. We certainly aren't going for jarring.

Maybe get together what torque converters you can and start figuring out how to best drain them, seal them, box em up, and cheaply ship them.

I was following this thread with interest as you had previously said you would offer it as a kit. As you are apparently not going to do that, will you publish a parts list? I simply prefer to do my own work when I have the time.

Thanks,
David

Nope, I've put a lot of work into developing this build and I expect to be paid for my work.

Thanks for the reply,
I hope you will consider offering the kit then.

thanks again,

I'm going to go finish the first one in just a few minutes; I'll have mor photos going up tonight. I was planning on getting it in my pearly this week but as usual have gotten sidetracked and didn't get as much done as planned.

I am on it. The built transmissions will be available soon.

Ok, this is going to be like the cliff's notes or chiltons manual photo coverage of the rest of the transmission build. I didn't take pictures of redoing all the seals and installing all the pistons for each clutch pack. Or packing each clutch pack. Even just showing putting in the assemblies I've already assembled turns out to be a loooooot of photos. There's a lot that goes into this build.

For now I'm just going to post pictures. I'll come back later and edit in some explanation of what you are looking at in each photo.
