SunCoast will sell you a unit for less than that.
If you're referring to the Stage V that price is without a converter IIRC. So it would be more by the time you buy it. Now they may have other complete ones at different price points that I am not aware of.
Allisons are easy till they don't work.
Amen to that, then I scratch my head and then call you. Usually ends up being something simple at least.
I do prefer the 68RFE if I need to remove and install a trans multiple times, just a little baby thing that pops out in no time. One guy can nearly lift it into place. Took one in and out 6 times one night until deciding and ATS converter wasn't going to work with the SC flex plate, the owner said it would I think he got some bad info.
