Message: [QUOTE="mtsnowrunner, post: 1219651, member: 15626"] I just toasted a Transmission that was supposedly built to handle everything I had and without beating on it or anything the 3rd and 4th gear clutches were burned up bad. I'm not a transmission expert and don't know the specifics but I know it was red eagle, kolene steels, extra clutches. No machining was done so I assume that thinner extra clutches were used. People that saw the clutches were shocked. That was with 4.10's 35's and 450HP. I needed my truck so I just told him to slap a simple rebuild together while I got a new one ordered. Now with Transmission #3 in 1 year going in I am wishing I would have just bought the JW in the first place. After seeing the JW list of parts I realized there wasn't much of a chance that my local guy would be able to build something that stout with off the shelf local parts. After talking with a few people it sounds like lots of people try to throw misc. upgraded parts into these transmissions with similar results to mine. [/QUOTE]
