it's really stupid what the world has come to accept as the norm as far as pricing on certain things are..

Good thing the GM guys have a junkyard transmission that can handle 600+ rwhp right out of the box

wish i wouldve done this to begin with but once i yank my ecu their is no going back this truck will be pretty much useless cept for racing..

the red eagles ones i got now should definatly hold the power better than the ones i had.

The input clutches on my trans where totally toasted, the rest of the clutches still looked fine though..

here is what arrived today:
for some reason the bastids didnt send me the steels i got the overhaul kit which includes all the packings, o-rings, gaskets, etc.. also recieved all the red eagle clutches and like 20 or so other misc clutchs of 2-3 diffrent sizes nuthing is labled.. no telling what is what really here are some pics

the band also isn't included in this kit and my band and input clutches are what are majorly fooked on my trans i went and looked at it today, the direct clutches look fine but the inputs are cooked horribly


luckily thier is a guy local who can totally rebuild my converter. He is going to cut it back open, clean it out, replace any and all wearable parts and weld it back together for 85.00 cant beat that..
with the amount of clutch and metal in my fluid it'd be stupid to put this converter back into my rebuilt trans without cleaning it out











just counted them thier are 8 red eagle inputs and 8 red eagle direct clutches..
the rest of the clutches are not red eagle coated but are better composition than stock he said..

they are for :
K-2 Hi low rev ----------------------------- 5 clutches
B1 Reverse brake SUV, Truck -------------- 7 clutches
B3 Forward--------------------------------- 5 clutches
B2 Low coast ------------------------------ 4 clutches

hope this helps, still very ticked they didnt send me my kolene steels, pay almost 500 bucks for something and they leave out half of my freaking rebuild kit

I only know U.S. trucks, but who makes the standalone computer? Why is truck useless except for racing at that point?

I gotta tell ya, I love the U.S. & U.S. products. But if I had to go outside of that, from what I've seen on PT, you have built 1 of the baddest, if not baddest import trucks I've seen.
I commend u for that & have seen u dump serious $ into it. I remember when u did cam changes. I thought ****, for cams? But that thing turned into a beast.
If someone said point a nasty non U.S. truck, I'd point out yours. I'd look no further. Good luck!

Call the co. u got kit from & get your Kolene steels. You paid for em, right?
