Anybody have any experience with Sun Coast Pro lock converters and trannys? They claim theirs is unbreakable at any power and also Guaranteed 36 months unlimited horsepower! They have a Master tranny kit for rebuilders as well.<br> Curious because my Brother in law just set his shop up to rebuild tranny's I like doing my own work great feeling when you know every inch of what you are depending on.<br><br> It appears that there price is comparable to the other guys even on the kits if you factor in Labor cost.<br> Interesting idea, How feasible I do not know yet.

 

I went with DTT and I'd do it again. Great service, great product, great results... ;D<br>Big dawg

 

Line pressure #'s and etc.. I could type for a week and not make it any less confusing, lol. Hereis what I think is a clear expanation.

Jack,<br><br>I did not realize that you were not aware of Bill's background but here it is. He has been a transmission builder for 20 + years and as he is the driving force behind DTT i guess those are his qualifications.<br><br>There is a brief Bio on the our story portion of his website.<br><br>Stefan Kondolay<br>DTT

LONG STORY<br>After talking to (what I call) the 3 major players of tranny upgrades quite a few times over the phone, here is why I went with one over the other.<br>Like I said, I had talked to the Owner's of all 3 companies quite a few times and during one of my calls I had asked to speak to the owner of this company and I asked why one their guys was saying that all I had to do was rebuild back to stock and put their VB &amp; TC in. He said that it was not true that it would be best to update clutch packs etc. I asked why they were stating in other &quot;arenas&quot; that all you need to do was just put back to stock and I never got a clear response. He asked what I had and I said a '96. He said o' yea you have a hydraulic tranny and you should do quite a few internal mods. Well, this was the first I had heard of having this (hydraulic) model.<br>I asked are you sure, he said o 'yea. I then asked how can I be sure, he said you can't unless you take apart. Man, was I bummed. Now I need to do &quot;extra&quot; stuff/money that I was not counting on. Well I call up and ask to speak to the owner once again of another tranny shop and I then play dumb (not wanting to get into he said/she said stuff) and I tell him a friend had mentioned that I had a hydraulic system and blah, blah , blah. He said no way. I say what? Is there a way to tell, he says sure there is a plug way back on the top of tranny and there should be (I think it was) 8 wires coming out Electronic and if there is 3 then it is Hydraulic. I get off the phone and check and Yipee!!!<br>That right there made up my mind.<br>Why would one guy know to check that and the other swear I had a hydraulic model and I would have to take apart to tell.<br>Just my .02!!!!<br>P.S. I did call the 3rd tranny shop and asked straight out what tranny I had and he said an Electronic model.

 

yes, the 96s and up have the 47re (47rElectronic)--not the 47rh. i've done extensive research and i'm 100% certain that i will go with DTT in the future. you need to understand how tranmissions work to really know what's good and what's bad. now, i am by no means an expert, but Bill K made an interesting note on his forum that made up my mind. i'm not going to state it on a thread (you can PM me if you'd like)-- we don't need any wars. all in all though, you will be happy with most of the popular brands that are our there- BD, DTT, ATS, Goerand, etc.

There sure are a lot of cheerleaders here.

 

*puts down his DTT pom pons and goes back to eating*

 

<br><br>Stakeman- am I to take it that you have some sort of dislike for DTT?

 

Keep it friendly guys! We don't need this to slide downhill too!. <br> Obviously all these great transmissions are built by competent hard working guy's doing their very best to help the rest of us out.

 

Just making an observation.
