transmission upgrade

[Firstgen1]

those of you who just put in a converter and shift kit did you ever break anything in your transmission

i dont know if it is worth puting clutches in it or not

what do you think??

[T.winegar]

i'd like to know if I need new clutches too. I have the converter, but nothing else. I'm going to probably ask the tranny shop guy when he installs my converter, just to see what he says...

If you are droping the trans to replace the converter. Rebuild the trans while it is out. If that trans dies a short time later you will need another converter for the rebuild.

ok, I already have the converter, so what else should I get?

in otherwords, what all is involved with a rebuild? how much gets changed...?

[CumminsPride]

Clutches, steels, bands, and planetary would be the minimum I would replace if it were out. And no rabestous, go red with kolenes or go home!
