tranny rebuild need advice

[99camaropkg]

well i am starting to rebuild my tranny this week. I have read and read and read so dont think i havent searched. But i am wanting to know what would be the best parts to use in the rebuild. I will be running a 2800 stall tc and i was wanting to build it pretty bullet proof. It has 132k miles on it, i know the cluthc packs and a new valve body is necessary. Can anyone who has done thise please give me a list of what parts i need and where i can get them. i am starting from and empty case. thanks for help in advance and you can send it to my email if you would like. jlammon@knology.net

If you are not going to put any serious power through it, you don't need to upgrade any hard parts. Just get a tranny rebuild kit with new clutches, make sure to get Kolene steels, get a new band, washing, etc, you'll need a new torque converter.... and synthetic fluid [img]smile.gif[/img]

yea i plan on putting some power too it, and thanks for the link its helpful. i am thinking on a 2800 stall tc. i think this would complement the engine rebuild in the future

if you are going with a higher stall, really do it. Plan the converter for around 700ish rpm below peak torque. I run a 3000, glad I didnt go smaller than that. Call Andre @ www.edgeracingconverters.com and he'll help you size and custom build one for you.

Don't go cheap when it comes to your tranny. Get the red eagle rebuild kit. A good kevlar 2-4 band is a must. Get ready for a bit of punching walls and swearing, it's not hard, just tedious. If I can do it, you can. Lable EVERYTHING you take off in bags. Also a shift kit, and some good servos never hurt. Let me know how it turns out, and feel free to email me if you get stuck.

where can i get the red eagle rebuild kit and how much?

Make sure you get KOLENE STEELS... they are the best you can get. I think I got Red Eagle or the "blue plate special" clutches... I can't remember now.

And about the band, that site I linked you says, "(We recommend this band over the above #11 band because the wide band must be used with a new reverse input drum otherwise the band will burn on the two outer edges.)"

However, I bought a wide band and a stock replacement just incase the wide band didn't work and I did not have any problems.

WOULD YOU BE REFERING TO THE #K19 MASTER REBUILD KIT OR #14-2 REBUILD KIT???????

[99camaropkg]

k-19 or 14-2 which one would be the best.

[tWiStEdBird]

14-2, and if you wamt the servo, I have one I'll give you for $50 shipped. It's part #1 on the same site listed at $89

[99camaropkg]

would #k-19 work with my tranny also cause if i am going to rebuild i am gonna want to hav ethe absolute best and it seems to offer more or is it for another tranny?
