New tranny finally going in!

[blowinsmoke7.3]

Well as some of you may or may not have known, my transmission has been out for every bit of a month. Its been a very frustrating proces getting quotes and everything. Plus not being able to drive her at all

Anyway my truck is in the shop and will have a new tranny come friday. Its costing me $2800 comes with a 3 year/100,000 mile waranty. The mechanic told me its a "jasper" transmission. Anybody know anthing about these? He said it costs 85 more than a ford tranny, its supposed to have beefier planatery gears and bilet shafts, any truth to this? He is also going to put on a bigger tranny cooler as well.

Hope she pulls good!

billet shafts installed for $2800???????? Uhh....

[Matt P]

yeah Im not sure if I would believe them on the billet shafts for that price. What comes with it converter wise?

[Dirk]

4r100 input shaft is around 200-300 bucks. Center shaft is around 600-700 bucks.. output shaft is about the same. Most likely it is just "hardened". Which is not a real upgrade when it comes to the shafts as far as I'm concerned. What planetary setup are they installing and what drum?

Jasper Remanufactured Transmissions Process

Heres what i found from the jasper website

As far as the jasper setup, they are commonly known for failures.

Great just what i want to hear.

Sorry man.

Just a simple programmer or plain jane TS chip can take out a jasper unit. More than a few of the upgraded jasper units have come apart around 400rwhp or so...
