Re: turbo 400 or rebuild again in a year

in all ohnesty it's not like i blew my tranny up, it just lost the forward pump, so that kinda says it did hold up as far as gears go. There's too many of you saying it'll be ok so i think i'll look at a different tranny shop. Thanks for the opinions guys.

You can buy built trannies from B&M, TCI, etc for like $1000, but even a rebuilt GM 350 with good clutches, deep pan (3 more qrts capacity) etc and the 350 will last.

I love that idea, but after putting a 330 hp crate motor in last month my wife is a little bit grumpy about purchases right now. I have to fix this one and she gave me a $400 budjet, thats why im doing the R&R myself.
