Building a trans
 

So im pulling out a used e40d out of a crummy. Its in good shape. I don't have near enough money to buy a BTS or anything like that. So with my mods in my sig, what can i do to make this tranny last without destroying it. I'm thinkin a deeper pan idk what kind is the best for the money. Maybe a bigger transmission cooler. And then either the bully dog shift kit, or the banks transcommand?

i would do a rebuild, transgo shift kit, BTS valve body and a upgraded torque converter.

yeah but im a broke as heck right now i dont have the money for a rebuild. how much would all that cost? im just looking for a relativity inexpensive way to get a reliable transmission

your lookin at a few grand for that but if the tranny is in good shape and you dont run it hard all the time you should be fine untill you get the coin for the upgrades.

Just a cooler and a shift kit is not going to be a "reliable build"...

And a deep pan is not needed, it just adds more fluid to your 18qt system already...

Just hold off til it fails and save your pennies in the mean time...

my tranny is getting rebuilt right now and it is casting me 1900 i am gettingt a shift kit and a heavy duty converter

All you need to make that e40d reliable is a tc and vb. Then some good tunes to compliment it.

so easy a caveman can do it...

Well I wouldn't go THAT far hehe

Then don't... If it was that easy, we wouldn't have any troubles with these transmissions... There is more to it than a valve body and torque convertor. Sure, that's a good start but how bout the clutch packs, pumps, planetaries...
