Dont have a trans cooler and never full throttle 4thWell heat is the main factor in transmissions failing, when u put a convertor in it, the convertor in fact creates alot more heat and that's the reason why it only lasted 5mnths, your auto builder should have told you this, or it was just that u didnt have the extra cash, either way this is what happens, learn from it and move on, id still stick with the 4 speed at 350 but if your going beyond that you can change the transmission to another type, but as a daily I would say driving quality will suffer, as will fuel economy.Keep us posted :-)

Im sure its good but if something did happen I can just take it back to the workshop rather than hassle someone on the other side of australiaAlot of people say built BTR is the go but at the end of the day they aren't worth the hassle, I've got a C4 in mine and love it, drives nicely on the street and can handle the power/torque these cars make, save yourself some $$$ and go for a C4 T400 or Powerglide.
