jinx44 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Yeah....Dodge's have great transmissions . Wanna put a 4 speed in it? I have one of those! Do you still have the C4? They are cheap to have rebuilt. A local shop rebuilt one for me for $200 with shift kit and some heavier bands. It was a bench job (I pulled the tranny and took it to him). Quote

red ore Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 here is your help, get a dodge!!!! well at least a heavy duty tranny anyway like in the 2500 and up trucks.. 332945[/snapback] lol, yeah......... Not ripping on you, but Dodge transmisions suck, and always have. A manual in a dodge is the only way I'll own a dodge. 90% of ALL automatic transmision failure is caused by HEAT... If you have a auto in your truck and pull stuff, put a COOLER on it. Quote

If you have a auto in your truck and pull stuff, put a COOLER on it. 333939[/snapback] I definitely learned the hardway. I've got an 01 dodge with a cummins turbo diesel & an auto tranny. Last year after I installed a chip & new exhaust i smoked the stock tranny. My torque converter got so hot it was purple. Well $3500 buck s later, I've got a tranny with a 2 year warranty, and completely hand built from the ground up. Now It chirps the tires when shifting from 1 to 2, and then to drive when I get on it. Now I've also got a big'a$$ cooler up front. Quote
jinx44 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 700R4 for a grand! That's high for what tranny work costs around here. My E4OD rebuild was just over $1000 and that was with a high dollar roller converter, all new planetary's, every bearing new, etc. Where are you located? Quote
'99350t Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Posted March 7, 2005 Where are you located? 334939[/snapback] scroll up. yeah, he fried the entire tranny, blew the spool cover right off. needed everything, just about. Quote
jinx44 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 I just called a local tranny shop who I know well. He said $5-600 will get you a new converter, rebuild, and should cover any other new parts that are needed. Quote
'99350t Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 i dont think iam going to spend the 600.00 on rebuilding one, and hoping it works. i called a junk yard today, and iam trading my ranger that i was stripping for a tranny. thanks though jinkx Quote
