I guess when i started searching around and saw 3-4000 bucks for some of these transmissions i just got a little iritated.....but, i'm ok now :icon_smi:.
I want to say the sad thing is that most trans conversion prices are going up to those price ranges (if not more, think 6 speed auto). I've been looking into the latest Chryco offerings, the 5rf45 and the NAG, for a customer and there is nowhere near as much info and support as the GM transmissions. It sounds counter intuitive, but for ease, this guy may get quoted for a 6 speed GM auto behind his 426 GenIII supercharged Hemi.
I am the first to admit that I haven't been paying attention and have to catch up on the newer Mopar ODs, but it is way harder to get the proper answers. I was told to shy away from the 500/518 trannys by my trans guy, but that was many years ago. Gdonovan's thread really opened my eyes on this subject. Although, I can't say I'm totally on board with a 4th gear you can't physically shift into.
