Well at the NHRDA season opener I destroyed my trans. Wouldn't shift into 4th or reverse so that leads me to believe I smoked the direct clutches. So I want to build this trans my self and have been tossing around some ideas in my head. Thinking about doing all stock hard parts since I haven't had an issue yet, trying to decide on what clutches to run (stock, Raybestos, other) and some kinda of a billet triple disc converter. Might throw in a Aermet input shaft but I'll have to see. The reason that I am not going all out with all billet and shift kits is that I don't want this to end up like my Elite trans in my 6.4 that I had / have so many issues with from eating converts, not shifting correctly, or breaking hard parts left and right. Both my stock 5r110's in either my 6.4 or 6.0 shifted perfect and didn't slip till the end and were reliable but both of them went over 100,000. Can I get away with more stock parts at 600+ and having to go through it with new clutches every 50,000 or so but staying more reliable and less likely to break a hard part or am I missing something here? Are there any pump mods I should do or just leave that stock as well? Just looking for some more input on this before I tear into it.
