ats builds the best tranny's i've seen
Read their warranty in detail and you'll find that they don't build the best transmissions. Also read the forums, you'll find they don't have the best reputation either. Trans problems, customer service problems, etc.
brians truck shop is suppose to be good too. the tranny i saw on his(bts) site had a purple torque converter(ats).
That purple torque converter you saw is a Precision Industries Stallion converter, not an ATS. The Stallion converter is bigger and stronger than the ATS one. The reason for the purple paint job is that it is a special paint that turns color when the torque converter is overheated. Quite a few companies use that paint, not just ATS.
autos seem to need some adjustment sometimes no matter who built it.
???? Mine has never needed an adjustment.
To the OP.... I know this thread was started over a year ago, but since that time Brian at BTS has now built a handful of 5r110's. There's a guy here in the Denver area running one with his 6.0L. I'm not sure if Brian is only building a select few, or if this is available to everyone. Might want to call and ask.
