Trans troubles? AGAIN!?

[sman]

How should I refer to him? Dr Phil, Phil, "the corvette dr"?

Is he gonna be mad if I name drop?

[1BADAIR]

I think they spec their own convertors from precision. i think thats all they use.

Have you considered PTC or FTI?

[FASHOOTER]

Just put a FTI in my car, like it so far!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

FTI should be right in line with the Vig pricing, worth calling around though. I know my PTC was a smokin deal, but its a different trans.

Re: Trans troubles? AGAIN!?

In a VERY interesting turn of events.... I stopped by the trans shop today to find my trans all laid out across the table and near the end of the pile of parts was a stack of SMOKED 3-4 clutches. Sort of good news I suppose. They are saying those are what gave up the ghost and it all went south from there. Official results are as follows...

Trans = trashed
Converter = good
Trans will be upgraded with a vacuum mod and z-pack clutches.
Will be done Monday
Total cost = 0

Wow that's awesome news, Spencer! How did they go from saying the converter was bad to it being the trans and the converter is fine?


PS - All the people that were calling the Ridings converter junk have a bit of crow to eat, no?

[kammi10]

ditch that converter anyway.... just sayin

Got something laying around I could get by monday? I would if I can come up with one.

[sman]

Previous estimates were based on what they saw in the pan. They only just got it out and apart this morning, super backed up there. I wanted to take pictures, some really nice mopars in there right now

I've had the zpack in mine for 3-4 years now. Awesome gear pack.. You should of just started with that from the beginning. I'm always mistaking my overdrive gear for 3rd gear when giving light throttle on the freeway to get around someone. unless you look down at your rpm's it's hard to feel a difference in the pedal. here's what i got. http://www.performabuilt.com/level-2.html

the z-pak is terrible for high hp applications
