My B&M 2400 took a dump on me Sunday. It's at my friend's shop and hopefully he'll be able to look at it today. I'm praying the TC didn't take the tranny with it too. My point is even though I shaved .4 off my 1/4 you get what you pay for. I should've saved a little more money for a nicer product. I have three questions. One, are B&M products remanufactured and two which brand of TC's do you guys recommend? Lastly, if the tranny is shot should I buy a brand new setup or have it rebuilt? The reason I ask this is because I don't know any reputable shops in my area who work on transmissions. Any advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice holiday.

P.S. I posted this thread in the drivetrain forum yesterday without any replys so I thought I might try my luck here.

 

Converters I recommend are Coan and B & M. I have never had a problem with either one.

Q

 

I've had a B+? and an S-- go on me. Two tranny rebuilds to go along with each. Got my money back on each converter, so Summit and S-- get high grades for that. No charge on the tranny rebuild when the B+? went. The builder was also cool on that.

Buy a Vigilante and have a first rate place build and warranty the tranny (even when they know you are going to get on it)

Auto trannys are complex. Doesn't take much for an inexperienced or even an experienced builder to F--- it up.

Good luck.

 

Take a look here.

Also in the chevy hi-performance magazine, there is a great article around putting in one of there tranny's

I was highly impressed with their comparison to other very popular convertors also.

 

had a hughes but went with a per.industries i think they are the best out there saw you are from nj there is a shop in baltimore md called chesepeake transmission they rebuilt my 4l60e and covered it to 700 hp give them a call they are awsome 1-410-360-3734

 

Vigilante.. hands down.

 

Ive had a few Break & mangle converters and they flat suck in quality, as you said, you get what you pay for.

 

Midwest converters, mine is built like a tank and only cost $455 shipped. www.raceconverters.com

 

I've seen a few guys complain about the B&M converters. My friend had one that lasted 4 days!!

I have a TCS unit. (Not TCI)

Neal Racing is also crap.

If you have the $$ I would check out a Precision Industries converter.

 

If I recall B&M and SLP are the re-manufactured ones.

 

You'll pay for em, but I guarantee you will be very happy with a Vigilante or Yank. I'm done.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm gonna buy a Vigilante.
