Transmission time, again.

[Rene G]

Hi guys, I just blew the trans in my 09 for the third time and I'm going to be doing a rebuild. What I'm looking for is who has the best rebuild kits out there? I'm going to be using a RCD Ultimate converter.

Thanks,
Rene

What was in your trans previously? Stock?

I chose to go with Elite internals and DPC converter - I only want to have to do this once so over building for my 600hp should do just that.

We have several options available for trannies buddy. Let me know if you have any questions.

Previous trans was Suncoast rebuild kit with Suncoast converter. After I installed the rebuild kit I snapped a input shaft. My trans has been together for +/- 60k since.

What went this time. That trans is as old as mine, I have your trans case in my truck. Just get a clutch kit and rcd torque.

 

[Rene G]

The converter went, I'm worried that it took out the clutches, I'm looking for a rebuild kit most likely.

If I was you, I would skip the rebuild kit and get something that will last you and that you dont have to worry about breaking anything for a LONG time. I would just do a fully built tranny if I was in your situation. Like others on here, I would only want to do it once and be done.

Rene isn't your trans about 3yrs old? If so I'm not surprised your torque let go, mines barely hanging on. I'd do another rebuild kit and the Rcd torque through Excel. You don't need all the billet parts due to you not having the need for them, you haven't broke anything since that input shaft so why buy stuff you don't need.

I'm going to magnaflux all the shafts to see if there are any cracks while it's apart, and then most likely get a rebuild kit. I'm going to get it done in Grande Prairie this time.

It's weird how it went this time, it was holding 100%, no slip and then the converter completely let go, I'd get 150-200rpm of slip going up a small hills at 60mph.

I think a fully built race trans will be over kill for me, contrary to the evidence I've presented, I'm really not hard on my truck!! I drive like an old man, never race or any thing.

A snubbers idea of "like an old man" and a normal persosn, are completely different.

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

I highly recommend an RCD converter. I'm very happy with mine so far.

Converter get there yet buddy?

You got me there! In all honesty, I'm pretty tame for a snubber..

Showed up today, you're awesome to deal with! I can't wait to see how your converter will work.
