I'm not due just yet, but with this new toy hauler being close to 18,000lbs, my MC is going to need a decent trans upgrade sooner or later. I could feel it's pain in the Smokies this past weekend. I'm not even sure what all I really need let alone a good shop to do it around here. I'd buy a full built trans from someplace (??) if needed (??), but I'll still need someone (??) to install it for me.

Any thoughts on any of it? It's always been a lousy shifting trans IMO.

Check out Dusty at HTS.

Don't know the dude, but I do know his reputation.

Lowell....thanks for the tip. Any others comment on HTS?

HOLY CRAP...$5600 for a transmission!?!

LOL, that is for way more Trans than you will need..........
Probably will be closer to 3700.

If Dusty is too high, call Dave Goerend, driving to Iowa isn't that bad for you.

I'll throw out another vote for HTS. I have one customer making 700hp+ on 40 in tires and his full billet trans is holding up great. Another customer of mine has one of his milder setups and pulls a 5th wheel to southern Texas and back quite a bit. I believe that he got a good single disc converter, billet input, and valve body and was in and out in less than a day.

First 18,000 lb 5er on a SRW? better watch your rear axle weights.
Second, i plan on going with HTS this summer when i get some time to drop my trans. heard alot of good things about them.
