buying direct from pa costs 400 dollars more per trans and shipping is double. holcomb motorsports must buy mass quanities to be so cheap, as far as lentech goes i have heard horror stories with customer service and warranty. I removed the aod cancer from my car and put a pa super comp c4 in and now have instant manual shifting that chirps 2nd and third gear easily. I don't need an overdrive, i have two other vehicles for traveling a far.
As mine sits its a bit pricey going to town.also i drive my cars to and from the track which 37.9 miles which is kinda pricey too but i dont belive in trailoring.If youre competent and confident in your work you shouldnt need to trailor is my out look.
But i hear you i got a bike and a danger ranger with the mighty 2.3 for a gas meiser.

And how fast is your car?? I drive ours everywhere well over 100 miles a night when cruising but 95% of the time I trailer to the track. Fast cars break stuff sooner or later it is a given. I lean on the car MUCH harder at the track then on the street I have broke 2 C4s and lost head gaskets before, broke T5s a couple of times and have lost a engine also. Competent? well I do all my own work and it runs pretty good S/C engine lasted for years running low11s high 10s with a stock block rods and crank. Turbo engine has been low 10s lifting over 135mph. and when I say I built the car I did it all engine rear trans roll bar painted the car did all the bodywork. so I think I am doing fine in this area at the moment. Confident, well when do you want to race ??.. LOL.. So what I am trying to say is your out look is a bit cloudy.. I use to feel the same way till I broke the car without a trailer to get it home with a few times.

im thinking the lentech aod will be best for me. bout the same price all in all unless i were to get a tci c4 but i have found a lot of bad reviews in the last 3 days about tci. also couldnt find any body that sells the pa c4s for any cheaper than the actual pa site
