RPM Transmissions paints their transmissions black. Are there any stickers on it anywhere? Does it have a billet servo on the side?

most aftermarket "built" transmissions are painted and have a deep pan with an aftermarket cooler....plus billet servos and stickers are a good way to tell

If you have something you want to see if it's been built, empty it out.

Do you charge extra for the diagonal "stripe"
