renaldo99 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) this is the third time I blew my transmission. First time was just at stock, second time was from cam shaft and stall, and this time i'm thinking because of the supercharger. Both times before, all I did was rebuild it with performance parts, so I don't know what to do now... rebuild it or buy new one offline? Any other suggestions?

Fireman31 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 It's time to look at one of the reputable builders out there like FLT, Rossler, RPM, or PerformaBuilt..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Do u know anyone in MI.??? FLT is in Illinois, Rossler is in Ohio, RPM is in Indiana, and PerformaBuilt is in Pennsylvania. Any one of them can build a trans for you, then ship it to your door. If you need someone in Michigan, PM Zippy or detjoe, they may be able to help you out.....

2bfast Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 What were the failures each time and what did you do for repairs each time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaldo99 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 What were the failures each time and what did you do for repairs each time?? First time was the gears and the coverter so i rebuilt the whole thing and beef it up with more clutches, shift kit i dont remember what else but they did all performance parts an the second time was 2nd gear and reverse so i replaced it with the same performance parts..

That still doesnt tell me anything. Gears?? As in carrier? Clutches?? what clutches? Theres to many trans parts out there that are considered "performance" but only some are worth running.

BgRd1 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 well the common denominator in the equation is everything not replaced. there are plenty of people running the same and more mods than you who dont have problems so id say either do what fireman31 said and have a performance tranny built or buy a new 4l65e and put in the performance parts you want. my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 UR HMI Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 something isnt right if ur ripping through trannys that fast. with my cammed truck with all bolt ons and a 100 shot, i had no problem. my tranny was built by RETIRED99 s dad jerry. best tranny builder i know. FLT is awesome but price is can vary. the tranny i have is as good if not better than an FLT Level 5. if ur built 65e cant handle 450 rwhp, they are scamming u.

renaldo99 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 i called a local place and told them my problem and the owner said if he builds me the best trans out there with all the best parts with my 3.42 gears and my hp i would blow it again. He said the only way my trans wont blow/ last longer is if i would go with a diff gear ratio like a 4.10. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? not an expert and just guessing here but i would think the 4:10s would be harder on it but then again i dont know a whole lot in that department......how many miles on ur tranny?
