Haha yea, these trannies all just have problems and they become worse with the addition of power.

that T-trim is waste without a built motor. sell it and get a s trim. you wont even spin the T trim enough to tickle it...


you can blow your stock tranny and rear with stock hp, you chances become greater and greater when you push the envelope.


hooking puts alot of wear and tear and stuff = breakage...if you wanna play you gotta pay

some people like the 3650 others hate it, the syncs are garbage in the trans IMO

Rumor has it that the 4R70W can actually hold 700 ftlbs of torque and thats what the 70 signifies.. I doubt it. Never seen someone push it that high though.

sure a built one can hold that much..im throwing a C4 in my car that will hold over a 1000hp


you need a good tranny cooler when you get up in the ponies or driving heat kills autos

my rear end with install came out to ~$1400 (i dropped axle off not whole car)


IF your not a cheap azz and buy good parts you will spend ~$1,500 depending on where you get it installed
