If you had to pick DI trans or Twisted Diesel trans?

[diehardstroker]

So I've talked to diesel innovations about a new transmission that's good for 450 rwhp $3620 before shipping, includes modified valve body, modified pump, borg warner internals, and machined parts, and a precision triple disc torque converter
I also talked to twisted diesel about a trans, $3650. Includes all new steel internals, modified clutch packs, modified valve body, modified pump, and a triple disc torque converter, don't know the brand. It also has a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty.

So if you had to pick which one would you go with. There practically the same price, which is why I'm having a hard time deciding.

Where are you from? I would go to whoever is closest of the two if your remotely close to either and set on one of the two.

Monroe, MI twisteds in VA and DI is in TX, obviously VA is closer and makes since but i was hoping to see if one trans builder might be preferred over the other..

My opinion after spending well over 15k on "built" trans...

BTS...

Of course with no sig, no info on mods, no idea what your future plans are you might just be better off throwing a HD4r100 in there.

 

[bruce]

if you can scrounge up 3700, you can find another 800 somewhere

yes it is...period. I need a trans by spring time for work, my truck makes me money and right now i CANT afford another 1k for a bts.

So if you need your truck for work...

Go down to Ford and pick up a HD4r100... 5 year/100k warranty

Problem solved.

Then call a different dealer...

Its a pretty tough SOB for a mild modded truck.

 

[bruce]

hell by the time you get those mods the warranty might be up on those other trannies. spring time is a long way off and i was a bit of a barracks loan shark back in my army days so...

I believe all the Ford Reman Transmissions have a 3 year/unlimited mile warranty. Still pretty good IMO.

more like a tow pig, its a daily driver and april-august is most of the towing which is when i make most of my bank..so with a 350 hp tow tune itd be nice, and i got plenty of power in a hot tune to have fun with.

I also called 2 different dealers BTW
