Tranny

Hey, When I had my tranny built, i never thought i'd have this much power. Is there anything I can do to the tranny to try to make it last longer? VB help? When it was built they did put a shift kit in, drilled lines and put steel inserts in. I think they did built it strong, but idk if its strong enough

Did you replace the torque converter? I'd be more worried about it as they are known to be weak.

Do you know what kit they put in? A lot of us are running stock trannys with chips & all that. I'm running the TransGo Tugger right now with about as much as you can run with stock sticks. Once you go injectors and such you might have more to worry about. Have you upgraded your injectors yet??
