If I spend Money on a Trany I want it right. What are the steps on getting my trany to hold the heat of the PPE +2

good quality build with good quality parts.

By happy to build one for your needs.

Eric's Trans is not batting an eye with my PPE 350 tune. Its awesome. Let a pro build you one and you wont be sorry. where are you located at?

I live in North Carolina near the coast. But how much are we talking about here? Give me a ballpark.

3-5k should do it. John at Suncoast priced one for me. Most builders are similarly priced, of course this depends on your needs, hp, and such.

Melvins Transmissions in Clarkton NC can handle it. He's going to help me with my Transgo install in a couple of weeks.

Where at on NC coast are you?

How much labor is involved with removing/installing the trans?

Shops usually charge around $700. If you are doing it yourself it depends how many friends and if you have a lift

I am in Jacksonville and looking for a reputable place to build mine with Suncoast stage IV parts and TC. Anyone know of someone that I should contact, I know it won't be anyone with the rep of Merchant or Inglewood but I would like them to be experienced with Allison and Suncoast builds.

Dustin just come up to Mich in june for the Spring Fling if you havent built it your self by then.

has anyone ever takin an allison out of a truck by themselves, had a pro build it, then put it back in themselves? prices?

I kindof did that I got a stage 4 tranny built by PPE and a friend installed it for me on a Saturday night. He charged me $300.00 to do the install which was very cheap. Prices have changed since I bought my PPE tranny, give Dan a call hell be glad to help you with prices and info.

I did all of mine by myself. My friends would have just been in the way.:drinking: Got the SC kit from Mike L.

yea but im just asking how much for someone to BUILD say a......stage 4 sc? parts and labor

call up Mike L (CA) or Eric at Merchant (MI). they both can be found on the vendors page here on the site.

Mike and Eric are both top notch builders but I don't think they will build a tranny and ship it out. When I got my tranny the only options I had was a Suncoast V or PPE. PPE will build you anything from a stage 2 to a stage 5 and ship it to your door.

Not true, I believe MikeL will ship out a transmission. Call him or PM him. Freight is not going to be cheap though.

for the right price im sure either one of them will do it. maybe you will just have to buy them a case of beer. HAHA

Not true, I believe MikeL will ship out a transmission. Call him or PM him. Freight is not going to be cheap though.He was'nt doing that in May 2007. I gave him a call and he had all he could handle without shiping out trannys. I would have loved to have a Mike L. tranny but I'm not complaining Dan at PPE hooked me up with a awesome tranny at a good price. Although shiping was a bit$$.

I'm gonna tackle my own in march if you wanna come up and watch and learn you can, since we're so close. A few of the guys posting on here will be there so feel free.

Well, take good notes so you can help me with mine in May...
