cheapest way= rebuild yourself
if not a rebuilder then bts seems to be the best around here, def not cheap

before you condemn it for good then can you pull codes in the tranny? what were you doing when it died? you could get lucky and have a sensor out, but running an edge that sbad news for a ford tranny

i have no idea, i've heard good and bad about both, i wouldnt buy either one, i like rebuilding my own stuff, i can build the same thing for a fraction of the cost, with the exception of a tc of course, that would have to be purchased

well a new tranny will be a rebuild anyway, so if you mean to have it rebuilt locally or not well then that would all rely on wether you have a tranny guy thats worth the money. If your goin stage 2's you should consult either BTS, ATS, or Suncoast and buy a built tranny from them and send them your core. either way its gonna be a little spendy, but with reliability and high hp handling abilities comes a bigger price tag.
