Sounds like a good kit. Only thing I could see being a pain is getting all those new hard parts stacked up to tolerance correctly. It is expensive though, for a basic rebuild. And if you have a toasted fwd drum, aren't they going to charge you anyways when you return it?
Pat Storey who owns SMR is a great guy to deal with. I've dealt with him in the past and had no issues at all. Pat races(raced) a Dakota in the NHRA circuit and knows not only race transmissions and what they need but also what is best for a daily driver. Tell Pat exactly what you plan on doing with your car and he will treat you right.
Ok cool..... I like that kit they offer....How I live in The Bahamas parts aren't cheap to bring in...I could rebuild it but trying to avoid having to carry the drums around to get the clutches installed....
