I am about due for a tranny in my 98' 12 valve. Fluid looks and smells SMOKED and I have a 100 fuel plate that isnt stock trans friendly. I have been looking at my options, and I have already decided on most parts of the build but I know some on this board have had it done. Need to decide on whether I need a billet input mainly. I already have a double deep pan and temp gauge. I dont plan on doing more to the truck power wise, other than a set of governor springs. I tow an enormous 24' 12K lb enclosed trailer, my biggest concern is for the towing longevity. That and the stock converter stall drives me crazy. Dont tell me to swap in a 5/6 speed, not in the cards.
Planning on DTT or a local builder with DTT or suncoast parts
Full rebuild
Triple disc convertor with a lower stall
Stock intermediate and output shafts
R&R in my driveway
I am on the fence about the billet input, I probably dont need one at my power level and I am told the Sonnax inputs are only a minor upgrade from stock?
Heard conflicting opinions on the upgraded flexplate, do I need it for 350hp (max)?
