This transmission can be built to be almost bullet proof. If you would like some ideas on what to do with it let me know and I can definately make some suggestions.

transman, my tranny is fine so far but I would still love to hear how I can beef it up when the time comes. I drive my truck very gentle so maybe it wouldn't be worth it to buy heavy parts. I dunno. I like to put as many miles on them as possible. Figure it's way cheaper to keep fixing than buy new.
