Jasper or Ford TorqShift

Here's the deal
I can get a Ford rebuilt TorqShift installed at the dealer for $4800
(includes a new $400 cooler)

or

A Jasper rebuilt installed for $3500 (he didn't say anything about a new cooler)

I understand that the Jasper only allows $57 per hour labor rate for warranty and I have to pay the difference

but at $1300 difference that's a lot of warranty work

any inputs will be appreciated

Tough choice if it were me. I would want to consider how many miles were on the truck, and how long I expected to be driving it. Also would have to consider the shops doing the install. Jasper reputation has been spotty, for engines anyway, not sure about trannys. I think the Ford rebuild warranty is pretty good, and you won't have to hope for good will from the installer. The dealer will probably treat you right.

I guess if I planned to keep her, I would go with the Ford.

Did you consider Suncoast?

I believe the Ford warranty is 36M/unlimited Mi., Jasper's warranty is 36M/100K miles.

Thanks for the input !

111,000 miles

probably keep it forever after investing this much

the warrantys are the same

36 month 100,000 mile

only difference is the labor allowance from Jasper
is just $57 per hour --- I cover the difference from what the local shop charges

The Ford service guy said that they install Jaspers when they work on Chebbys

said they were good

If you decide to go with Ford, just be sure that they are actually installing a Ford rebuilt, not a Jasper! I have been told that Jasper is supplying a lot of OEM's with rebuilt components these days. That having been said, I have used Jasper rebult transmissions, and not had any problems with them. Jasper does insist on a new cooler or cleaning the existing cooler with their 'certified' flush unit.

Between the two I would opt for a Jasper. Having two Ford remans in Explorers over the years I saw they are nothing special. You often get a better trans from a good local trans shop with updates installed for less money than a Ford reman trans.
