Ive been lurking for a while, trying to be ready for this day. Well its here, my tranny finally gave up the ghost. Yet, i don't fell 100% confident on what parts and pieces to buy, which brands are good, which are junk.
Can experienced tranny builders chime in on this one. I am going to be doing this DIY style, and it will be my first automatic trans rebuild.
Ive got plenty of tools, lathe, mill etc so i figure i can make any special tools, spring compressor for the OD etc.
Ive seen mention of SONNAX valves being more likely to stick, various opinions on clutch material, clutch count, lever ratios.
My mind is spinning, can anyone make this all make sense?
My truck is an 89 ram charger with a 12v and 47re swapped in. The motor is mostly stock with some injectors and bolt ons. Its a daily driver, but also a toy. I do have a dually to drive when this thing goes down.
That being said, i would like to plan this transmission to have good hard parts to keep up with future plans. I would eventually like to make in the 500-600hp range. I don't think ill ever get serious enough to go much higher, i still want it to be drivable and towable. Just have enough ass to shut up kids and their crap cars.
My truck will still move, even do a burnout. But the trans take a long time to build any pressure, and is puking fluid out of the bell housing. Ive yet to take it out, but i guess i either lost the front pump or broke a weld on the converter. {it has a mean shudder when locked in OD}
So whats the list for a bad ass DIY trans build? What are the absolute avoids?
Greatly appreciated!!
