I sell coolers for a living. I am thinking of brining one of our coolers to the automotive aftermarket. It can outperform anything on the market already for about the same price. It is about 3 times oversized perfomance wise, but similar dimensionally to competitors.

I can attest to the like new finish on these trannies. I had some exhaust work done yesterday and the owner commented on my tranny while he was under there. Said it looked damned good!
I can also attest to all the new parts Vince puts in these. When he disassembled my old transmission, most of the internals were thrown away in the garbage....including the complete wiring harness. Most builders reuse those...but Vince says why not replace while in there...just another example of FLT's commitment to quality and the best tranny on the market!

I do through away a lot parts when building our units. The local scraper can attest to that as well. He comes by every day to empty the trash cans in the shop. I hate lifting those heavy *** cans. Thanks for the comment Ben and glad the exhaust guy liked what he saw.

Here are some photos of a FLT beast shell assembly.
Here is a pic of the new low roller installed.
This next picture a picture to show you the modified low roller race. It has been machined to compensate for the sleeve and the bearing.
Here is a photo of the race installed.
Here is a photo of two sun gears. The one on the left has the wide bushing. The beast requires using a wide bushing.
Here is a photo of a bad oe shell and a new beast shell.
Here is a photo of an unmodified beast shell.
Here is a photo of the sleeve that we in stall.
Here is a photo of the sleeve and bearing installed.
Here is the photo of the sun gear installed. We use this setup on all level 4 and 5 units.

It's funny that I used this thread to help a guy swap a linkage today. He had purchased a unit here from Ls1 tech and it had the wrong linkage in it. After pointing out a couple photo's the guy working on the car knew exactly what had to be done. Vince

More Photo's Here are some pictures the beginning of the trans being assembled. This first picture is of the case bushing installed.
Here are a couple others.
Picture is of the low/reverse piston with the seals installed.
Picture with of the low/reverse piston, spring cage and snap ring.
Picture of the piston in the case ready to be installed. This is the tool that I use to lightly tap it into place.
This picture is with the piston in the case and the spring cage ready to be compressed.
This is the tool that is used to compress the spring cage.
This is how the spring cage is compressed in order to install the snap ring that retains the spring cage.
This is what it looks like when it is done.
More photo's coming of the assemblies being installed. Stay tuned and enjoy the pictures. Vince

Just got my level 4 in and all I can say is wow. I went back with a factory stall but the car feels so much better. The shifts are smooth but firm. I've had my car since it was brand new and the transmission has never felt this good. This is how it should have been from the factory. I'm very pleased that I went with FLT.
