If you know people... the shift kit, high energy friction+steels rebuild, and new filter is $274. ATI convertor is proly gonna cost you $800ish. Its a good thing my uncle does racing transmissions. Cause the convertors are marked up quite abit

 

OOOOOOOO The old trans. ? Temp fix would be a touque converter, value body, and A brand new flex plate. You get a good amount for time out of this combo depends on the horse power BD ,ATI, Level 10 ,Some come to mine.Level 10 did mine made to order.Price OUCH but it is worth it.

 

Did that give you a stronger intermediate band, and also an upgraded strut, anchor, and apply lever?

Reason I ask is because those bands are usually about $170, and the rest of those parts is another 100 or so.

It already had the upgraded stuff and you may want to call a racing trans place because i've heard these diesel places are doing things bass ackwards and using cheap jap parts. But they seem to be working and i'd be more than happy to get you some phone numbers
