Trans Upgrades
I'm looking into a JW valve body. I'm looking to increase the life of my trans. It has a rebuild about 30,000 miles ago. I read that the best thing to do is the torque converter. If so what is the best TC to go with?
What else can I do to beef up my trans and help it last?

I've got one, it quickens the shifts and they feel more firm is what I get out of it. I am looking at torque converters myself. The problem is I have an 01 with the diode so I am on borrowed time anyway. I am not sure I want to dump money in a converter to have the tranny take a dump anyway.

-6.0 trans cooler 26 or 31 row, 26 is actually more efficient than the 31 row though
-Precision Industries TC, from what I've read they're the same ones BTS uses.
-Make sure you have one of these in-line otherwise you'll be doing it again soon: Amazon.com: Raybestos Magnefine Inline Magnetic Automatic Transmission Filter 3/8": Automotive

I would substitute a TruCool for the OEM Ford ones just for price. Other than that, sweet thanks.

The 6.0 bolts in but IIRC needs a little work with the lines, the tru cool will need you to find a place to mount it.

A decent double or triple disk converter will be $700-$1400. You can pick up a stock one for $395.
If you are looking to upgrade, spend the money and get a good one. You can also check the prices from Ford on the upgraded one they install in the HD4R100. It may be a decent price too. Tousley Ford would be able to give the specific P/N and probably the best quote too.
