Local rebuild of mine would be anywhere from 22 to 28+. All at one time,for a factory rebuild.
Here's my choices online I found, along with the shift kit I like so much... they come with kevlar bands and more clutches.. For a difference of around $100 between stage 1 [shift kit] and stage 2 [internals]

All of these transmissions run from 12 to 15, not including shipping which would be around 400-500..
I'm thinking if I go this route, in a way it can be less money at one time, I'll have the tranny on hand and won't have to worry about it much. I'll just have to save for install.
I know a concern could be warentee, but if I decide to leave state that's not gonna matter much in the long run anyways.
What info would be useful to me in buying a performance transmission and this application?
On top of it, what the hell do I do about a converter? Go with stock? Engine doesn't have any major mods done to it.
