Monster Transmission C6?
Anyone heard of or used a c6 from these guys? Ive read a lot of reviews about every tranny from them almost but not a single c6 owner.... Ive heard that a lot of trannys have had issues and they will not back their warranty which is BS. But ive also read some good reviews and see their brand used on a lot of truck/car tv shows. Im curious as to if its worth it? Ill be building my 445 and looks like ima have ported aluminum heads and a mild-hot cam. Something so its more of a toy then a hauler but still will have torque when the occasion of hauling my toys on a trailer is needed.
If I went with one of these I was going to sell my c6 instead of rebuilding it. The quotes I got were around a grand for a rebuild on mine in order to handle 500+ HP but it seems like monster does more then any of the shops here would do... Also do to the goofy bell housing on FE motors they said they will make sure to pull the right C6 off the shelf to rebuild "" ... Here are the two options offered by monster Heavy Duty Package Rated to 500HP C6 Transmission Remanufactured Heavy Duty Performance : Big Block Super Sport Package Rated to 800 C6 Transmission Remanufactured High Performance Race Transmission : Big Block |
Lentech is another option for automatic transmissions . They can build an aod for you .
I have a good auto trans shop in my town .I will most likely stay with the C-6 when the time comes . |

It is a high dollar special order item . I priced one . You have to call or email details about your truck , and they will price one for you . They include the adaptor and all else . You could get an adaptor from Jegs at on time .

Another good C6 rebuilder is Broader Performance in Weatherford, TX.
Mine cost me $1400.00 including torque converter and freight to central Florida Broader Performance |

Personally mine hasn't hit the streets yet. I'm still knee deep in the restoration of the Pumpkin. I do have two buddies who also have Broader transmissions and they are both very happy with them. The shifts are firm but not harsh.
Mine was the wide ratio 500HP model, looking at his website it looks like it's now a 700HP wide ratio model. |

Jay at Broader knows his stuff. Although I have never ran one of his trans, I have and do buy a lot of stuff from him. After several conversations with him on the phone I wouldn't be afraid to run one of his in anything.
I only don't because I am perfectly capable to build my own, and have built them to handle 900+hp easily enough. With that said, a stock C6 will live behind a 500hp motor just fine so don't get to wrapped up in hype by monster or anyone else. If it was my money (and I wasn't going to just build it) I would go with Jay. |

Like I said, I haven't had the chance yet to drive mine :'( but the two cars that I've ridden in that had Broader transmissions had nice firm shifts without being harsh. The guys love their transmissions.One dumped a B&M to install the Broader trans and said he couldn't be happier. |

X2. I talked to Jay several times while he was building mine and he comes across as very knowledgeable :-X22.

Give him a chance as Jay is a one man shop basically. If he happens to be a show or a race event somewhere may take a day to get back to you. BUT he will.
