Took the trans to Hughes, they replaced the junk input (that was supposed to be some BTE bad dawg piece but wasn't), replaced the valve body, front pump, high gear drum, servo and band, did a normal Hughes freshen (soft parts, steels and frictions) ,,,,, 2 years, just over 125 laps and not a hint of a problem now. I tried cheaping out and saving $800 because BTE had a special on Dedenbear case glides (Hughes SFI case Top sportsman glide was right at $4k at teh time). Cost me over $1500 to fix. Should have just bought a Hughes in the first place. BTW,, looking for the receipt for the repairs to be exact on what they replaced, I found the original receipt from Oldani,, I was wrong,. it wasn't a $2300 glide, it was their $3200 Top-Sportsman glide. But they wouldn't warrantee it in a 2900 pound, 9.teen second door car. Yeah,, I'm pretty soured on BTE!
