does not seem to move too much, like the fuel plate. i have had this off about 5 times. did not seem too move much if at all. will try again!!!!

 

All the added power in the world will do him no good with a stock transmission and converter.

 

i briefly touched on the fact the stock transmission wasnt up to the task... i didnt really ellaborate since he said cheap... you cant get a whole lot of transmission work done for "cheap" a stock convertor is like 800 bucks and 2200 for a mildly beefed but nothing special transmission with a lower stall convertor...

 

when i got my truck the tranny was rebuilt in the last 18,000 miles. on the slip it said shift kit and low stall coverter. the price was 2,300. does not say much more than that. will this tranny hold up with the mods i have done?i only use the power when needed. or will this motor eat this tranny up now?

 

ehhh i think you'll be alright; my transmission guy has told me that the internals hold up nicely until you start romping on it with any kind of power and thats when the input shafts suffer. our trans has the upgraded strut rod that pushes against the bands (which i hear like to snap or walk off) and the upgraded accumulator piston... i think that's the correct term for it. but it's made of aluminum and has seals that resemble piston rings instead of the composite material... either way, for what you have done to the truck and even the upgrades that have been mentioned to you i think you'll be ok. i doubt any "hard parts" are going to suffer and if there are any doubts install a tranny temp gauge. i'd feel safe with it; but that is just me. i'm sure there are more experienced guys with the autos that'll tell you otherwise. you just have to realise with the increased power it also increases the cost of maintenance of things. so you gain some; but ya also lose some. just part of wanting power. IMO you'll be ok

 

thanks for you response. going to install temp guage and adjust the bands as well. what do you think about putting deeper pan on?
