Drive it and recheck (with engine Running) once its settled down and warm and the air has bled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a quote around the $2500 mark and that's if I take out the trany, let them fit clutch packs, and for me to put the box back in. does that sound a little pricey?

U need to know what they are changing. It would have to be absolutely U/S to cost that much and maybe they are quoting a worst case?However they may quote worst case and if its in good nick then they make a killing but if its rooted they only make 30% profit. A steel Pan with a Drain and changeable filter is @ $300. but next service all u need to buy is a Filter.The weak point are E and B clutches and they both need to be beefed up along with the input shaft if its the older type. it doesn't hurt to do A,C & D packs whilst in there.But you can only go so far as the Intermediate shaft along with the input will only take so much HP so there is a limit to what you can do and as such a limit to what you can spend on one.Like I said before U need to know what they are changing.Or what they are telling you they are changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to beef it up before I eff it up. they told me they add a few clutch packs and change the input shaft to an FG one. the steel pan and oil I will be supplying. where can I buy clutch packs and the input shaft from?

Couple of hours labor!! Id be shopping around if I was you.Maybe ask some of the guys who have had them done and see what they have paid? and ask by Whom.
