I had a triple lock/VB installed by a non authorized dealer and paid for it. The second gear band broke a couple weeks ago on me. The seal on the TC was either torn on disassembly or some other time and a quick call to ATS and for very little more than labor at the transmission shop they sent me a new transmission from them and the new 5 star converter. It's a stage V that I ended up installing myself because of problems with the transmission shop. But I couldn't be happier so far with this new transmission and ATS took care of me pretty well since i didn't have the whole component bought from them the first time. Just my experience I thought I would share.
