Default Who Has A Stage 2 or 3 TDP Tranny???

I'm going to send my tranny out this winter for a rebuild and TDP is on the top of my list to send it to. But I haven't really seen any customer reviews.

I don't want this to turn into a battle between vendors, I just want some input from some guys that have the TDP tranny, mostly the Stage 3 tranny.

I have a 415 rwhp LT1 and am going to be adding boost in the next few years and want to get the drivetrain ready ready for it. All that I have left to build is the tranny and driveshaft. When boost is added I'm shooting for 750+ rwhp

So who has a TDP tranny and how do you like it??

Upgrade the mainshaft and 2nd gear in the unit along with the normal stuff like solid keys and the later model steel 3-4 shift fork.

I said they are on the top of my list. Never said my mind was made up. I just haven't seen very many reviews on the TDP trannys, but I have talked to Jason (IIRC) and he seems to be a stand up guy.

I have a stage 3 from TDP with billet keys, steel forks, and 32 spline mainshaft. I have yet to button her up completely but will post my results asap. If it holds my 8xx's then you should be good to 750's.....

Jason, has been more than helpful in taking care of me. Stand up guy, indeed!

Recently got my stage 2 trans and stage 2 clutch back from jason at TDP and I have to say it shifts beautifully I've only had it together for 500 miles but so far so good. The only thing I noticed is its a little harder to move over to get into reverse not the actual gear just moving the shifter past 5&6 area. That and never call TDP's shop just call jasons cell, he's a bit hard to get a hold of sometimes but he is a busy man but still super helpful.
