Advice for parts for trans rebuild.

[Stroked777]

I hear good things about every company's trans, elite,suncoast etc... But I'm looking to save money and I'm not afraid to tear into my trans so I was wondering what is the best way to go about building my trans and what parts I should go with and from where. Wanna be able to do about 700-800 fuel only and spray a little at the strip. Suggestions??

I would do a precision or DPC converter you can get a rebuild kit with the pump mods and all other seals, gaskets, clutches etc.. From suncoast or any performance shop really. I would go with raybestos clutches over the alto. Billet input shaft and any other billet parts you can afford while your there.

But what billet parts are actually needed I know a imput but are all the others actually needed what brakes that would be a good investment

Not trying to hijack your thread but figured it would be good info

For 7-800 and some spray, you'll want to go full billet, and the HD 300m input. As for clutches, I'd recommend elites HD clutches as well. Essentially you'd be assembling a stage 3 trans.

If I can get you any pricing, let me know!

I have an elite competition trans kit, transgo shift kit, and a tcs 300mbillet input shaft. Not sure on a converter yet, thinking either precision or dpc..... Id do atleast that and run it.

DPC or RCD converter with Raybestos guts.

I run a RCD converter made by precision. Stock solenoids. Sun coast raybestos clutches. TCS billet intermediate shaft and BTS billet input. It puts power to the ground very well.

I run suncoast clutch kit with billet internals and input with an rcd convertor.

Thanks for the info. I already talk to suncoast at etown diesel nationals and with there parts a converter it was gunna be around 3500-3700 iirc. My next question is how good are the flex plates on these trucks. Suncoast had one for 649 for my truck

 

[blk350on20s]

Lotta people putting big power down through stock flex plates. I think you'd be fine at the desired power level but it can never hurt to add it if you have the money.

I'd def throw one in there. I broke the center out of my stock one at only 650hp

 

[farmin powerstroke]

Mine holds up to 800 hp so far. There's a truck with s472 and 100% nozzles running a stock one around here also.

If I can ask why the preference of rebestos over alto?

They've been proven to take the abuse much better over a longer period of time then the latter. But that also has a little to do with how the trans is built and tuned.

That kit is more of a pressure relief kit than a shift kit. Essentially smooths out any pressure spikes you may have. It's not a bad idea at all. I put one in my trans.

Stock valvebody is just fine.

If I can help you out with ordering any of that, let me know.

No lol and it was in his CCLB before that with spray lol.
