If you break it in two you get both halves.

Mine should be here next week so that weekend I will attempt to do the install. Looking forward to driving the SVX again. I really missed it...even though I like my Maxima also. But I see 20 of those a day...I miss my SVX...after this i can fix my other one. lol Stupid amazing cars!

Greg, have you gotten to installing the transmission yet?

Still no feedback? What's up w/ that.

You guys are all racing for the guiness record for least timely transmission install.

Don't rush the install/converter install when you actually do get around to it though; It's absolutely essential that all 3 splined sections of the converter assembly are engaged. Unfortunately one purchaser of one of these transmissions didn't get his converter installed correctly and now I'm still waiting for some pictures so I can try to guide him to determine the condition of things now and into a successful install.

Just a tip to help others avoid doing the same: Your converter should not be pressed up against the flex plate when you bolt the transmission up to the engine. There should be around 1/8 of an inch space between the converter and flex plate until you install the converter bolts which draw the converter up to the flex plate. If you don't have that space when you are bolting the trans up don't bolt it up; the converter is not propperly installed.

what a bunch of slackers!

Actually......

I have customers waiting for transmissions and have had to turn other customers who needed transmissions away because I haven't gotten any cores back to build.

If you guys don't hurry up and get your cores back to me I'm going to have to buy new cores in which case you'll default on your core charge.

From now on there is a 30 day limit on cores ...from my door back to my door.

Would there be a possibility to set up an appointment to rebuild over a weekend (or whatever time needed)? I'd like to spend some vacation time to drive over, get my trans rebuilt, and drive back (not for the next 3 months at least).

sure, why not

I have one extra if you want to buy, let me know. I could deliver to you if possible to save the shipping.

Hi lan, I've got a core as well, still shifts well, as a matter of fact.

drumroll please

My new 4.44 built by LAN is in and fully functional. I am very happy with it. The shifts are very quick. My best estimation (not having taken the car to the track at all) is that the combination of both the 4.44 and the performance rebuild have resulted in a 2 second improvement in the quarter mile. Because I did the performance build and 4.44 swap at the same time, it is difficult for me to say just how much faster the shifts alone make the car.

I was a little worried at first because the darned thing shifted so hard i thought it was gonna tear my car in two! It settled down a little more each day though, and now after about 150 miles on it it seems to be comfortable in it's new home. I would now classify the shifts as fast and firm, not jarring.

Overall it seems that LAN has pulled through with this transmission. The real test for me is over the next 5-10 years. I wanted a faster transmission, but more importantly I wanted it to be rebuilt by someone who is familiar with the tendancies of OUR transmissions.

Good news! How many miles are you going to put on the trans before you drain the fluid out and change the internal filter? 500? 1000?
