Smarty Jr Vs Sr
#21
You don't want to use a stock tranny! Good for one pedal to the metal and your done!
At a minimum you'll need a TQ and VB that will hold for a long time if you control your foot as in NO power launches! I've been quite brutal with mine with just those mods and still no slip. Only issue I had was band adjustment " It better be right" These trannies with a few mods are quite sturdy but in stock form it's easy to smoke the clutches!

Yep. Anything mechanical can break. Especially when it's as complicated as our trans! I'm actually taking mine back in to get some adjustments done on it... *shrug* just the way it is! You have to pay to play and be okay with breaking things. That's just the way it is.

If your running high hp and torque, you need the right tranny upgrade and you'll have no problems. Look at the hp and torque the trucks have that sled pull and race. I think ats is one that handles over 1500l ft lbs and has an excellent warranty. I think most of us are not going to have that kind of power, so I imagine such a tranny would last a long time. Do it right the first time and you'll have far less problems or take you your foot off the pedal.
