Lmao mines just died at the young age of 54k miles. It didn't even give me the opportunity to spray it. 3-4 clutches done slips like a beast, should be ordering a Performabuilt early September though

Geez thats pretty bad did you guys change the fluid? Run a cooler?
Im at 179k with a big stall and mine is working great. I also had the PWM taken out when it got tuned and run a "RV rated" trans cooler too....
In my time as a mechanic I have seen most trans failures due to lack of changing fluid though.

Went through 3 of them with my H/C/I Camaro. This is why I just went with the Th350. This isn't my DD though and I wouldn't recommend putting one in if it is your DD.

found a trans shop that is going to pull it and rebuild for $600 with a warranty. Now i just gotta come up with the $600 and maybe alittle more for a shift kit while im at it. i prefer when something goes out might as well improve it while im at it.

I may be wrong, but I don't see how you could get a rebuild with quallity parts for that price.
Check around so you don't get burned.
