Look at the three threads in the "little secrets" under the Transmission section and all your questions will basically be answered ... in a nutshell

1. It's bulletproof
2. It's guaranteed for any HP and has been run behind an 800+ HP 11 sec diesel in the 1/4.
3. Should be the last tranny you'll every buy.

Re: Tranny

I got stranded without symptoms pulling my TT with my 4R100 on my V-10 gasser. Unfortunately, Brian will not make the 4R100 for the V-10, and believe me, I begged. I felt the next best option was probably the Sun Coast 4R100, but Sun Coast needed me to send my blown transmission down to Florida so they could rebuild it. The van had been down 3 weeks to that point, so I choked and had a Jasper installed just ot get the van back on the road.
