    what transmission is best for me

    Idk much about the motor. It's mildly built with headers and some sort of cam. Idk any if the specs. So I won't need to get anything over 2000? I'm still hesitant about rebuilding it. I do need to save the extra 600 or so of getting it done. I can afford it but am saving to move. Sent from my...

    There's a general store in Danville Washington like 10 min drive from my house that accepts shipments for $4 per package. I bought all new ujoints and a full clutch kit online and with shipping it was like 100 less than clutch from local lordco. Online is the way to buy here. I live in a small...

    They also have a 700r4 rated to 1000+hp for only 2800. The highest th400 rating is like 750 or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well if I can save 600 or more by doing it myself I will at least give it a shot. I would have to pay duty/12% tax at the border on top of that. If I run into trouble I'll take it in an have them finish it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's called a "step above" a factory replacement. It's 1,125 for a trans rated to 400/350. Comes with a full 3 year warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yup. All shop rates are 80-85/hr. The one guy said that it wasn't rocket science and if I got in a bind he would help out. That was the approx 510 for labour only. Could be more, could be less. Monster Transmissions has a th350 for 899 on sale right now. It's rated for 275hp/250tq. Free...

    what transmission is best for me

    I decided I should get a few quotes for a rebuild incase I get in over my head. The best price was 6hrs at $85/hr so $510. This is just for labour. I would but the kits and any other parts. A full rebuild with torque converter, shift kit (stage 2) an such was quoted at $1163. I also have...

    what transmission is best for me

    ok. thats a little too much improving :rofl: the trans now has only 1st gear and reverse, and slips out at low rpm. does this sound like a possibility for a newbie rebuild? it drives fine when it stays in gear but only has first. i drove it about 5km (3mi??) home when i bought it and it would...

    What does it mean to upgrade the "intermediate sprag outer race gear"? What is needed for a trans cooler? I've never worked on an automatic before.

    thanks for the links. i read all the posts, i think i will attempt it once my dad is back from vacation. can you recommend a good rebuild kit and shift kit?

    what transmission is best for me

    I think i would end up trying to shift and try to jam the trans into park on the hwy with that thing... i like the thought of being able to reuse everything. (dshafts, tcase etc) so i will probably stick with a th350. is installing and properly setting a new gear set something i should...

    what transmission is best for me

    Ok thanks. I have a 465 with fresh clutch in my 77 that is being replaced by this 78 once it's ready. I could rob everything off of it for the swap if I go that route. I'll have a look at rebuilds on here to help decide as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    what transmission is best for me

    the gears are chipped in the front axle or i would go with 4.10 rear. i can post a pic in the am and see what you guys think of the gears and if they're worth running. could i take the d44 out of my half ton and run it with 8 bolt hubs? or maybe the carrier/gears? so th350 is stronger than...

    what transmission is best for me

    would a 4l60/80 bolt to my existing 205 and allow me to reuse my driveshafts? thats why i am considering another th350. what would be my best manual option?

    what transmission is best for me

    The 205 stood up to the difference, but the transmission was always under load. It was like it was always hauling a heavy load. That and the 37s didn't help. Back axle is 3.73 and front is 4.09. What would I need if I were to attempt to swap gears? I have a set of ford axles available in 4.10...
