Thread: My new Transmission.

Well I am having a new C4 tranny built and put in my truck. It should be done this week I hope but thought I would ask you guys for opinions and comments on this. The guy got me a C4 core, building the tranny all new bands, etc etc, putting a shift kit in it for free he said, Coan (I think it's Coan because the guy races and puts trannys in drag cars all the time, etc and I know it's not TCI or B&M and I never heard of Coan before so I am 99% sure that's what he said) stall converter 2200-2500 stall, a tranny cooler, installing it, got my B&M pro stick with the magnum grip shifter and automatic valve body for 950 bucks. That is installing and building the whole thing as well. How's that sound? The converter is 288 bucks which to me is expensive but if it's Coan then I am guessing that is a good price?
Thanks for any info on this.

Ok well today I found out that the guy is going to be putting in a Daaco performer stall converter. Maybe that is performance not performer, I don't know. Either way, is this a good stall? From the searches I have been doing they say B&M and Daaco aren't good but then again there are some guys on some other forums saying that they have used them and they held up pretty good and they towed stuff all the time and rode their trucks or cars pretty hard with them. I just want to make sure I am getting a good price for 950 bucks. I think it is pretty good and reasonable since he is installing everything so it's ready to drive out the door and putting all new bands in it, etc. I looked at the tranny today since he had it in a a huge heated parts washer and looks like there are round metal pieces, gears, etc he is reusing and then the C4 core. He said he is putting a whole new band kit and/or rebuild kit in it, etc. Any info here is still needed, thanks. It should be done at the end of next week he said. Oh and is 288 bucks for a Daaco too much money?

Bump!

Thanks Denny. And yeah that's what everyone says is they would have helped me out. Too bad I live here. Oh well, at least that part of the truck will be all new and out of the way.

daaco and b&m stuff is all good...we use daaco converters in everything that we build at work and i work for a national franchise so there is no cheap route.

Alright well sounds good to me. Thanks.
