Getting new trans, looking for suggestions?

I'm looking for suggestions on what I should look for inside of this tranny. And of course who should I do business with and why? Also remember I have new era 370's and some dv's coming for x-mas.

I'm running a stage six ats tranny and absoultly hate it I've gone through three now. If I were to do it again i would go with sun coast and do there extreme rebuild kit there a little pricey there around 600 for the rebuild kit then you would need to get a torque convertor which will cost you the most

I have had no issues with my Suncoast tranny and convertor. I also toured there shop and talked with everyone while on vacation in FL. There shop is top notch, there customer service is great, and they have a very good reputation. I would recommend them to anyone.

I'm running a DTT and I am very content with it. Didn't experience a Suncoast, Goerend, ATS or whatever else.
I've got more than 150 k miles on it and it works like a charm.

I installed the Transgo shift kit on the tranny before she went bad. I'm happy with it. I want to get the Mohave Green lower stall torque converter next. I've heard of people getting 1 to 2mpg better around town because of the lower stall torque converter, especially if there pulling trailers.

We have had our Suncoast for too many miles to remember. It has been nothing short of impressive. I have their laminated flex plate and triple lok convertor as well. Good luck.

I also have one and am pleased. He used a Suncoast single disk on mine and it's holding just fine. I tried to give Goerend a chance but he never returned my email/phone calls and I couldn't wait so Dusty got my business. Called on Friday and it was at my door the next Wed. He pays shipping to you and you pay to return the core...$200 was what it cost me, by far cheaper than anyone else. His tranny was also @ $500 cheaper than the competitors.
