Need a new trans , advice ?
So my truck has a new 5.0 , and I knew this was coming , it now needs a trans , it slips , slams into gear , won't shift right , it really makes the truck unpleasant to drive , it's an aod , what would you guys do ? Find a good used one ? Or get mine rebuilt ? I don't know if my engine would stress it too much , it's built with a comp 31-255-5, ported and polished e7 heads and intake , 1.7 rockers and longtube headers with true dual exhaust , Idk how much more hp I'm making over stock but I don't want my engine to break another transmission ,
Any advise would be great !

I just got a new trans for my truck.. A C6. I came across a few AOD's as well. They run about 200.00 used from a boneyard. I would have used it because it has the OD in it.. But from what ive read... You dont gain much with it. After all the stuff id have to change, I found it wasnt worth it.

Is an aod rebuild something I could do in. Weekend ? I'd say I'm good with mechanics , I know the rebuild kits don't usually cost over 300 , so that looks like a good option if it's something I could do
