Damn it Tipsy. LOL. By the title of the thread I thought your Lightning was gone.
Stop giving me scares like that. LOL.

BTW, what were you doing to cause your tranny to go?

I think it really comes down to what parts you end up using in the tranny. I personally, am going to straight to BTS when i blow mine up. No one ive seen has built a stronger trans. The tranny in my girls WS.6 went out not too long ago, and i went bought a race built trans for that, why not do the same for mine?

I have always been a fan of getting it done right the first time. If my tranny blows, I will spend the extra coin and get the best one I can so that it never happens again. In my eyes, the extra money is worth it.

3 Trannys here. 1 Warrenty 2 I paid at the tune of $4,000, so 8K Inhave in transmissions and my Truck has 111,000 on the clock. The Transmission in it now leaks oil from the Torque Converter and Ford has fixed that 3 times. I'am getting a built Transmission this winter ( got to make some money first ). Probley getting it put in in March.
