Transmission Rebuild

[SickStroke6.0]

Probably gonna end up rebuilding my transmission soon, hopefully not, but we will see.

So what's the most cost efficient way to go? I don't plan on pushing anymore than 550 HP (at the most) and I may spray eventually.

Would a Suncoast Rebuild it with a stock converter do fine? And how much do the stock converters run?

Also, who should I get to rebuild my trans? And how much should I expect to pay? I can't afford an NADP, and I really don't need that much of a heavy duty trans.

Thanks

bump I am about to go through the rebuild thought about just getting a suncoast rebuild with their tc and have the ford mechanic that rebuilds these trannies to build mine with those parts would come in at about 2600 but would like to know if there is a better route

[Lubbockguy1979]

if you want the cheapest route your looking at a used unit. maybe a local shop but be weary if they dont specialize in the 5r tranny. they are particular. then next cheapest way would be a ford reman. this is largely because of the warranty. suncoast has a hit or miss reputation in the 6.0 and 6.4 circles. bts probably make a great unit but for the price they have to... nadp seems to have a few of the highest hp trucks and they are holding up well. you could also send it to doug @ gogo and see what he can do with it

Is Doug on the Org, or just the Nation? It would be nice if he would chime in.

[RescueF250]

Doug is pretty busy he is signed up with the org, but as of lately he is staying of the forums when I last talked to him he's got alot of work doesnt really have time to sit on them.

what do yall think about my rebuild idea as far as for price for what appears like it would be a good rebuild and I apologize for the hi jack

[RescueF250]

Depends on the mechanic, my partner hates working on 5R trans he doesnt touch them but he knows how to work on them. Id double check if he knows what he's doing.

Sick I also pm'd you
