Building a trans
#15
Look if ALL your doing is the mods in your sig, and overall just basic stuff, a good valvebody (OR a shift kit) and torque convertor will be good. Then if you really wanna be safe, add in a good trans cooler. MANY people run similar or greater mods and have those basic upgrades on their e4od and have great success.

Just do it right the first time or you WILL be doing it again... And doing it right doesn't mean only installing a vb and tc... Those are parts that should be a part of your rebuild but it shouldn't be the entire rebuild... You think one transmission rebuild is expensive, doing it twice will just be silly.

I personally wouldn't go the 5speed swap route... I had the chance to trade my auto for the manual trans straight across... I just wasn't keen on doing all that work so I could have synchros or something fail on me and the rebuild costs for those are stupid. When it comes time for another transmission to go in my truck, just buck up and do it... Mechanical parts fail, that's the life of automobile ownership...
