What!?!? I thought you wanted the learning experiance? It's not that big of a deal, for the parts you could spend around $200 in parts maybe a little more depending on if you want to replace your drum ect. and anything that might be worn.. Plus wouldn't you like to take 300+ pics of the inside of your trans? BTW you could also install a higher stall/performance converter for around $250. Might not be a bad idea with the new cam ect. as your power band will be raised. Just depends on what you want the new power for... drag strip mostly & street or going road course.. a higher stall would probably fit you.. unless you plan on doing road course then it really hurts the driveability and trans. You may also want to install a trans cooler with or without doing any other trans work with all the heat going on in there.. I would reccomend a hayden stacked plate design cooler. For your use I would probably stick with a 2200-2400 stall speed.. I have a 2600 in mine, but it can be a bit much especially when I was running the 3.75 gears. Another thing about higher stall speed converters, is that like on our cars that feature a "lock-up" or torque converter clutch.. the fuel economy on the highway really isn't effected, though around town it will be.. -=Rick |
