Dropped the trans off today...

I zip tied mine to the cross bracing...lots of airflow.

I DO like the level of detail in the invoice. He sourced CK parts etc?

Yes. 2 parts from CK, and a billet Drum from Scott McClay.

He even had me order those from the respective vendors, so no fear of markup.

We went with the McClay drum, he said CK's drum needs additional machining, the McCLay unit is a drop in.

I had no idea it came with a 2 year warranty, that's awesome.

Of course, it's all conjecture until I get the trans in and beat on it.

Looks like a pretty thorough overhaul. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the McClay drum. And what needs additional machining on the ck unit ?  TIA

The McClay drum was $435.00 with shipping, ~ $80 or so more than the CK unit. I'm not sure what needed to be machined, I just figured that if it needed machining it wasn't as good of a product, incomplete in my mind, and from the research I did, McClay's parts are pretty much bulletproof.

DId he dual feed the direct clutches?

I don't think so. At least not that I remembered.
