If getting all the parts from goerend like converter, valve body, billet input, strap and anchor, 1-2 band apply lever. Do you need to buy a master rebuild kit if the transmission is not broke?

 

If your going to pull the front out to do the input, you really might as well do it right the first time

 

I was just going to do the converter, VB, etc but when it was pulled apart, a lot of the clutch clearances were bad and the O/D unit was a little burnt up so. I'm glad mine is fully rebuilt so i won't need to some out again for a LONG time!

Don't forget to replace the crappy dodge aluminum planetaries with 6 pin stainless units...

 

My stock planitaries have held whats in my sig, but not so my the converter

 

Unless you're in there every week checking them out, you don't know if they're holding up or not - the steel planetary drums will hold up, where the oem aluminum versions are known to easily fail - that's why they eliminated that junk in the 48RE.

Check parts offerings at PATC for the hard parts, other than the stuff you mentioned - they have the same o'haul kits and hard parts as all the other vendors, but less expensively, if you're on a budget
