I was thinking Goerend but not 100% sure. I've been doing a lot of research on building it myself. I'm just shooting for 400hp so I don't need anything too crazy.

I'd seriously consider the Goerend trans. Talk to Dave Goerend he will set you up with the right trans. I've got about 3 years on my Goerend trans and is completely bullet proof. 100% satisfied. I put it thru hell with 600hp and loves it. Had a DTT trans in my last truck didn't like the hard shifts. Pulls like a rocket with the Goerend and smooth as butter.
If you check out Diesel Truck Resource same story Goerend is the best trans for our 2nd gens.

It's just hard to cough up $4200 for the trans, $1k core charge, and $500 in shipping. I really want that trans but I'll probably have to go with a shift kit, billet accumulator, and billet servo for now.

Sounds like it needs a good servicing/set up. Tq converter locking and unlocking is probably the tps. Either way it shouldn't be acting like that, especially for the money.

I just ordered up my shift kit, billet accumulator, and billet servo from DTT today. That should keep my trans happy for now, as long as I don't do injectors.

Remember, it's dangerous, inconvenient and unethical to arrange wrecks to happen.
