Looking for tranny info
How about tranny up grade mods?? I have looked at TQs from ats and BDPower,what else strong and drivable is out there? Where can someone get tranny kits w/better clutches w/more surface area?COON I know about your shift mod,I think it is something I will diffently consider.

if you go with an aftermarket trans my mod is no good as it will shift so hard it will break things, my kit is only good for a stock trans, will work if you throw a good converter in though, but if you put a bts trans in or even just a performance valve body then definatly dont do my mod

if nothing is wrong with your tranny then i recommend my mod, if you have issues and need to do a teardown then i suggest a 4r100 foreward planetary and the valve body from.......somebody will chime in i cant remember the name but its about $250 or so, a good converter and you'll be set for quite a while

bts= brians truck shop, he seems to have a good rep around here for the most part and i have several articles on him in my diesel power magizines. i do my own so i dont know too much on where to buy a unit from, i cant put a hp number on the e4od limit but mine has taken a ton of abuse with big tires, offroading and towing and has plenty of miles to prove it, my old truck was a gasser but a built 460 at that and it took years of abuse and only broke once(foreward planetay) and that was because i had a 76 high boy that was dead hooked on a chain and literaly 4-wheeled up a mountain with it tied to me, in my opinion that was all the trial i needed to prove e40d's are built tough.

If you are doing your own rebuild check this place for parts:

BTS is the way to go for big HP, reliable trannys, but pricey. The warranty is very good according what I've read here, don;t know personally, I had mine rebuilt by a buddy.
