Just a quick suggestion, I know that performabuilt does not post all that goes in the tranny. See if you can find out if they install an Input Drum Support Ring
(hardened reinforcement drum sleeve & Piston kit) &


You can get spider cracks on drum at shaft area which are caused by hard 1-2 shifts, high torque or heavy vehicle. The kit is $49 and a cheap add on worth the money.
I am sure they use Aluminum accumulators intead of the brittle plastic ones. One last thing, have them use a torrington bearing instead of a stock one to better protect your planets.

If you get the support ring you will also need this $60 Short Inner Race and included the Torrington Bearing for the above Sonnax Input Drum Support Ring kit. If that bearing goes out, your planets are toast. Or at least just get the Torrington bearing.
