How much for a trany rebuild

[Mopar-muscle]

steven you'd be looking at about 1300 for all the DTT components , TC , VB and the update kit , labor to install depends on the shop rate , time is about 8 - 10 hours . you could go with a different product for less money , read the transmission threads you can find and you'll see how many guys have done it twice with DTT being the final time .

research your options very well , hopefully you'll only have to do it once .

I am considering replacing the TC and VB on my auto sometime this summer. For budgeting purposes, about how much are we talking? I understand that a large part of the cost is the trany removal and replacing, I'm just looking for an estimate.

You can spend a lot or not so much, depending on what you want or need. The DTT products are considered by most members to be the "Gold Standard". The DTT TC and Valve body plus upgrades to your internals will run something over $1000+ just for parts after you return the resuable cores. In addition you can plan on $550-$800 for labor, depending on what is found when your transmission is opened up. If the internals are in good shape you will pay less, if you need major parts it will be a lot more. I did a lot of price research in recent weeks and am going to have my transmission done at the following link: http://www.gbtransmissions.com/
This place is very good, they are TDR members and being in a tiny town in NE Iowa, don't charge an arm and a leg. Rather than tell you what they are charging me, I suggest you call Dave Goerend and discuss your needs and he will give you a quote as well as 30 or 40 minutes of very informative transmission talk. They are installing the TC and VB of their own making in my truck but will gladly install ANY product you wish to purchase and bring to the shop with you. They also think that DTT is good but maybe you have a smaller budget or don't mind slightly less efficiency for a lot less money, that's your choice...

sky , you should be ok , who did your install ?

Gice Dave georend a call. I got a converter from him, And some parts to do the valve body with for a really good price. I have close to 6000 miles on his product and my work (install and vb work). He also gave me about 4 hours of his time on the phone talking to me about my truck and trans.
He is the best bang for the amount he costs.
I'm extreamily happy with my trans now.
Give him a call and call DTT also and then compare, this is just my opinion, it is your choice don't let me sway your choice or anyone else.
