1500 dollar tranny cost 3-4000 to rebuild!!!!
i just took my tranny to circle D .. there cool i got nothing against them im just having a hard time understanding the cost to rebuild (3500-4000) if i only paid 1500 for a new one and i could pay 1600 for one at finish line.
they said its all burnt up.
any body have anysuggestions i dont have 4000 just layin around i was hoping to hear somethin like 900 or 1000 to rebuild.
for 4000 i could buy another car

maybe you should talk to the guys at circle D our level 3s are pretty close to that if they are building a tranny to hold some stupid power that is kinda the ballpark are you getting a converter to sounds about right if so....havt really looked at vince's site in a while but i think his level 5 is a little more than that but if vince has the better deal take it to him very reputable also.

not lucky but i did research and found a reliable company that a bunch of people have heard of and know that are sponsers and small shop so not a bunch of overhead costs and such....many people on this site use his tranny to bracket race and i havent heard of any failures related to transmission problems...

What you would be getting for the money is leaps and bounds above the so called new stock unit you had. Then add in a conversion set up and getting that dialed in. A conversion can be an electrical nightmare and end in rapid premature tranny failure if the install is not done properly. How long did the stock unit last? Just curious.
I'm a firm believer in getting it done right the first time. It'll save a lot of $$$ down the road.
Good luck!

Its pretty well known that as a Sponsor here on LS1Tech your expected to PUT UP OR SHUT UP. If one of our sponsors was building poor transmissions and overcharging they would be run out of town (some actually have but we wont go there)
You can be very confident in purchacing a transmission from Circle-D, Performabuilt, ACE or Finishline.
They all have proven their product time and time again.

I know a little OT, but do any of you guys work on 700R4's? I have one in my car (carb'd ... vehicle in my sig) and would like to stick with the same tranny. It's got a few leaks (seepage) so for now I have a tarp under it, and I check fluids every other pass, but at some point I'd like to get it rebuilt (within the next year). Just trying to limp it through until my next work term (when I'll have money again).
thanks!
