Tranny rebuild ? Typically, how much, ball-park should I expect to pay for my trans to be rebuilt, and what usually needs to be replaced when I get on it, it gets sideways, and then just revs up like it jumped out of gear..
Is this a new problem that you are having? If it neutrals when you get it side ways, you might want to verify if your trans is full of oil. With the mods in your signature one of our level 3 or 4 units would work just fine. When you get some time click the link in my sig. Check out what we have to offer and also the pricing is there for you as well as the build sheets with the parts that we use.

What size converter does the level 4 unit have?
The prices for rebuild vary wildly , I too would suggest you go with a built unit, Alaso take a moment to check out our site. I would suggest our level2 unit we also have converter combos and all prices are clearly written there , Theres no core.core charge and shipping is included to anywhere in the mainland usa . Though I would just check the fluid level 1st
Thanks
Thanks

I would prefer to determine if it needs to be replaced....certainly if it needs to come out it would be smart to consider a performance unit. But, I am not so sure this unit is hurt.
Let's determine if it has internal problems first and if so then we'll go from there....
Here are a few questions to help you determine of there is something out of the ordinary happening inside,....
What is the fluid level? ... as Vince stated previously, when hammering on it and sliding one way or the other if the fluid is low the pump will cavitate, when that happens the unit will slip.
What is the fluid condition? Is it dark or fairly clear?
What does the fluid smell like? Either it has a pungent odor or it does not.
When was the last time your unit was serviced? Are there transmission fluid leaks? Does the transmissioin function properly immediately after getting sideways?
Lot's to determine before I would replace this one based on the OP's description of the symptoms.

Well that helps, sounds like you are doing your maintenance and checking the fluid often! The symptoms as descirbed imply an internal issue. If the fluid is gopod and clear then it must have been changed often as a slipping tranny generates clutch material ordinarilly... and if that debris is minimal then the fluid would smell burnt... if the tranny clutches are slipping... sure your tires aren't spinning and that is why the RPM's go up and it feels very loose?
If it were me and $$$ was an issue I would start saving now and drive it hard but no abusively. It will fail, when it does then you will have saved your $$$ and would have done your reasearch as to whose transmission you would install.
That is my .02 for ya!!!!
Good Luck with it!

If you just changed out your rear end did you reprogram your computer?
Did you change the ratio? I think that you left out some info in this thread. I believe that you might have a tuning issue.

Hand held tuners, or LS1edit type softwares.
