Need a tranny

DodgeDiesel01 · #1 05-01-2009, 10:26 AM

My tranny is done for and im looking for a new one. I allways planned to go with ats but now ive heard nothing but bad things. Most of the trannys seem to be in the same price so i want to hear from you guys what you have and how you like it. Ats? Suncoast? Goerend? DTT? BD? NADP? Monster transmissions have a HD tranny for have the price but money is kinda tight so that might be an option. I also have a local diesel shop. so what do you think?

Shift kit and rebuild kit cost me 274ish. The rebuild kit was the high energy kit and then pick a good convertor. Of course thats not any special billet pieces.

If your going to get a completely new tranny go with suncoast. I'm running one of their Allison 6spd transmissions in my 12 vavle and I haven't had a single problem since doing the conversion. But stay away from ATS, I originally went with a their 47RE and it had to be completely rebuilt when it arrived at my diesel shop

We are a DTT rebuilder. We are tearing down a competitors trans right now and it's a joke. But they have a great advertising budget I guess.

what part of it is a joke? Are they claiming to do something and then not doing it or wimpy parts or crappy assembley?

Little bit of everything.

Some of the components reused were clearly shot when they went back in. The clearances were way out of whack. tight on some and incredibly loose on others. And the customer was told he was getting upgraded clutches in some areas where it is all stock.

You can call level 10 in new jersey and they will do a custom job there even make the parts right there. You can pick what you want to fit your budget. Just look them up online give them a call, if you like the price just ship it to them or drive if you can. They did all mine trucks.

i will sell you mine it's got bout 5000 miles on it and its full billet suncoast $2,000 and you can have her......I paid 5,500 for it new!

Level 10. That's a good one. I haven't heard their name since they were peddling junk 200-R4s.

I have a buddy that did not want to pay for a build. So he bought all the parts, knew how to build a trans. Gonna have to be built for real after his 3rd attempt on his own.

There's more to building a good transmission system versus a shift kit and new clutches.

and why you selling it?

I have a DTT, and have had some issues with customer service that I haven't been really thrilled about. I was charged more than quoted on my rebuild kit when I nuked it, and still haven't seen a receipt or reason why I was charged more. I also got shorted some parts and the answer was to just reuse some of the old ones. I have several other friends with their trannies in them, and they have all held up quite well though, and they have had good customer service, so I guess its kinda hit and miss.

Ive got a buddy that killed one of there "High Performance" Torque Converters in his 7.3 Powerstroke. I've heard that they don't know how to build a Diesel Transmission. But I don't have any personal experiance with them so I don't know for sure.

I had no problems I guess it is hit or miss with any trans rebuilt or torque converter, the thing of it is all it takes is a clearence or heat or a piece of metal that is weak to break and it is done. If the manuf. of any trans. stands behind the product and replaces it is all good not that taking the trans out is fun . Lifetime warr. is good. did they fix the converter?

I like to keep cranking down the spare tire and out drops the GOLDEN TRANS that is perfect.

Nope they wouldn't replace the TC. Now hes running smooth with a Suncoast Triple Disc. Funny thing is his 7.3 is only running an TS Chip so hes not making high HP.
