[QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1141380, member: 13852"] I hope you don't take this the wrong way... because it is purely information coming from a guy that sells turbos to lots of guys that end up blowing up their transmissions. I am not trying to bash in any way. Your issues could be tuning... but lets assume they are not tuning related. I have lots of customers that had their transmissions built using the "same" parts that most reputable tranny builders use. They usually use some shop close by or some friend that has been building stock transmissions or other types of "built" transmissions for years (not someone that SPECIALIZES in the 5r110). I used to feel bad for those guys and try to help them out when their transmissions blew up multiple times. Some of them dumped WAY more money in the transmission project then it would have cost just to get it right the first time. But now I just try to pre-warn them and point them in the right direction. I am not a transmission builder so I cannot tell you the special secrets or tips... but I have talked with many tranny builders at length and they told me all sorts of things they do to modify to get the tranny just right. Certain clearances that most guys don't know about. Certain parts they use or don't use. There is a lot more to putting a tranny together rather than just buying/installing the right parts. Their have even been issues with certain parts coming for big manufacturers like suncoast that needed to be modified. Some would say that a built tranny is way overpriced... but you have to also remember that some of the price you are paying is a convenience fee, warranty fee, shipping, oh and they need to make a little profit to stay in business. There are some things that are worth building on your own... but there are also some things that are well worth paying a professional to get right. [/QUOTE]
