I was told they do that so they can run the larger sized lock-up clutch but the smaller sized internals or whatever in the front. I know little about it, but I know it is the only converter I ever saw that had the larger sized back welded to the smaller sized front.
Pete, depending on how long you think it would take you to do it and how much cabbage it would cost me, I would be willing to drive my trans to you, then come back and pick it up when it is done. If the rebuild could be done in 1 day it would save me 1 trip but I'm assuming that isn't possible. Again, I have no clue when it comes to trans rebuilds.
The best deals I've seen so far are ones that are advertised to hold up to about 700 hp for about $1200. I have no clue what it would cost to have mine built up, but at least I know it would fit right in when I brought it back home.
Dan, Dont put a whole lot of stock in the 700 hp for $1200 advertising. In my opinion, that is not possible from a trans shop that must profit to stay open. I have more than that in parts(at my cost) in my bad boy back up unit. I usually try to get $350 labor to completely go through one, and I often have 20 hours in it. Let check on parts, and my schedule to see if we can do something before the snow melts. In the meanwhile, keep exploring your options in case I cannot come through in a timely manner.
