You will also want a good billet triple disc converter installed and they get close to $1,000. After that the price that he gave you would leave only doing a quick rebuild with the cost of clutches, steels, seals, orings, and a valve body. The valve body should cost around $450 for a built unit or $100 for a kit to do it your self. In my opinion that price is a little low.
i know everyone trucks he did so he charged me right at what he pays for parts he said...which sounds right to me....he is doing the exact same thing you said, billet triple disc converter. And then the clutch, valve body, and all the other good stuff. He is also putting in a HUGE pan from some company I cant remeber. He builds diesel drag trannys for a living, so i trust him pretty well. And it needs to be done before I am stuff on the side of he road and a brand new perfomance tranny is close to 3500 if not more! So, im fine with 2200. And I dont pull anything, so a larger cooler is probly not needed.I only pull a ciggarette (if i spelled that right) boat in Portland, Maine when I go see my dad, and thats fun! But not often!

well then if he is giving you the price with charging for parts at cost then that sounds about right. But you need to find out where he is getting the TC from. There are a couple of companys that people I know have had problems with.

Also if it is a VBX valvebody then I would want to get a different one than that. I looked at their website and from what I can tell they just sell stock remans. And that is no good. That is one of the 2 biggest problems in the dodge trannies. The other being the TC.

Alright man. Ill keep that in mind and also find out where he is getting it from. I know that he is going to use a VBX valve body but i dunno why it is just a stock remain, because he should me where he gets it from and the website today and as far as i know VBX is highly reconmended? but i may be wrong..
