That's the proper way...IMHO The next owner will appreciate it for sure

Any updates on your experience with the trans builder?

I installed engine and transmission Thursday two weeks ago. I have been driving and enjoying her everyday since! Transmission feels crisp and is not as lazy as before. I have put over 500 miles on it and so far all is well. No leaks, no noises, just smooth and fun. It appears that RennTech did a good job. I will report back after some more driving.

I think mine just went.

would you recommend renntech now that you've probably got a lot more miles on it? Would you be willing to PM me on the cost and if the converter is worth the extra money? Thanks.

I've been told that my transmission is on its way out.

I tried to google "renntec" and was not able to find their website. Can you share me their website so I can get a quote on how much the rebuild is? Can you also PM me the cost if you don't mind
