I have a FLT rebuild kit I'll sell ya. That's the best I can do. Teamblackandred has done a few. Maybe he can hook you up.

Not for nothing but unless you have more mods in your truck that are not listed your sig you shouldn't be blowing tranny's.

I would buy a new one either from PERFORMABUILT or FLT. You will pay just as much for a good rebuild.

A good build local is the best bet since the warrenty would be better. I agree with Josh,you shouldn't be blowing tranny's with the limited mods you have.There is a mechanical or tune problem.

yeah, it shifts real nasty on the one-two, but thats one of the reasons why i win some of the races that i do. i actually had champion transmmisions take the truck and they said the rear end is blown, not the tranny, so im goin with an Auburn posi trac and 4.10s.
ill be changin the tune shortly when i get it back.

That nasty 1-2 shift probably took care of the rear end. Drive shafts, u-joints and rear diffs don't really get along with trannys that slam gears. There is a middle ground were a transmission can shift firm and fast.
