Bring your little ass down here and we'll git her done.

:)

That drive isn't too bad, I have done it in around 18 hours... it's the shortage of funding stopping me :( All funds are being directed towards the last few (yet expensive) parts I need for my car..... someday though :thumb:

Soon to be 0 miles on my 1st : Mike L. Transmission

The last trip to Glamis Dunes on New Years was the end for my trans .

Limping 3-4 with a big slip and leaking seriously out the front seal .

Not to suprised ...... The word LIFT isn't in my volcabulary . :roflmao:

Kodiak will soon be rolling with a Mike L. Transmission . :thumb:

I've got about 10k on mine I bought from mmlmm and I think he said it had 2500 or so then..

This thing shifts like a stocker at 600h.p..

Overall.. couldn't be more happier:D

ZERO miles on a Mike L. built tranny, but Mike gave a LOT of input on the builds (Eric Merchant did the first and Matt at Champion Transmission did the second) and is the reason I have run 2 Mike L. coolers (accident took the first one out) and his snake oiler....

And I have nothing but good to say about my rebuilt Mike L. converter. I originally was supposed to run a 1057 SunCoast but Eric was out, so I opted for the Mike L. converter and am glad I did. I don't run much power anymore, but it locks solid each and every time...

57K I think on mine.

I had a selector shaft seal leak got that fixed and changed the fluid once and changed the spin on every other oil change.

Has been flawless

You might be thinking of mine Mike.

The valve in the pump housing had the button in the end pop out and jam sideways.

My 11,000lb 8.1 gasser work truck, it has over 100,000 miles and not a hint of a trouble.

The Diesel has 80,000 miles and still flawless. I am fortunate to have had the work done by the "sheep herder". :thumb:

You're right. That was the first one I had seen do that. After you there were more.:( I make my own now.:D

No, maybe a little bump when the trans is cold and I am coming to a light or stop sign. The 3 to 4 shift gets harsh when you nail it if you don't beat on it constantly but I think that is the TCM's fault
