so after the weird trans problems that i posted about about 2 weeks ago i took it to amcco transmissions. they took off the transmission and opened it up to find that the steel band was coming apart and hitting the side of the drum. apparently amcco can get good heavy duty parts from a company that they use that specializes in diesels. he is rebuilding my tranny with all steel parts, putting a heavy duty torque conv, heavy duty clutch pack, shift improvement kit, and some other things that needed to be replaced like some sensors and such. he said that this will be a good tranny and i can chip it and do anything i want and it will perform well. for 3300 bucks backed by a 3 year 36000 mile warranty. what do you guys think?

 

How much? Not a lot of detail on the parts either. Hard to say. IMHO

 

he said it was a special torque convertor with an high energy fron end for lock up ( which i still am not sure what exactly lock up means) and a heavy duty clutch pack. he said it will be 3300 dollars.

 

Sorry I have had a bad experiance with them and do not trust them. In MD I would go to Jim Jennings Trans in Essex but that may be a haul for you.

 

Why not check out http://midatlanticdiesel.com/ ? For that kind of money I'm sure Llyod Mills could set up something really nice for you.

 

They are charging you for stock replacement parts. You can get a decent built GB trans for that cost.

 

x2 Great guy

 

And get a way better warranty to boot. I would not throw anything much more that an Edge EZ at an Ammco rebuilt stocker.

 

x2 on the Goerend....

 

i told ammco that i specifically do not want re built stock replacements i want heavy duty for higher horse power

 

X3 on the Goerend... I guess I need to update my sig now that mine is in... LOVE IT!!!

 

I specifically would not take it to AAMCO.

 

Aamco has a bad reputation around here too.
