-tranny TC and VB $2000 if its an auto
-dual disk clutch $1800 if its a stick

-fuel plate, tune AFC, 5x.012 or.014 injectors, intake, exhaust, 4k gov springs $1500ish

your stock tranny will die if you dont upgrade it auto or stick

Do you have the receipts for the rebuild? It should say on there, listing the parts that were used. Is it an rh or re?

X2 on the receipt... If he just put stock replacement parts in it then it will not matter.

the most inportant thing you need is a TC and VB and chances are if its an aftermaket VB you can pull the pan and it will say BD or ATZ or whoever built the body. pull the inspection cover off of the tranny and see what color the TC is. i think georands look stock but others are painted different colors.
