Last Friday I got a hold of someone to order the Alto direct and input power packs. I was hoping they'd be here today, but they didn't come. They should be here on Monday. I have every thing to do the rebuild - bands, seals, and a bunch of other things. Once the packs are here it is going to the shop here in Vegas to get built. After that I will either wait till I build the motor next year, or if I decide not to wait I'll go back to Cali and get a new tune for a little more power hopefully.
I will post the results here in this thread once the tranny is built. Hopefully all goes well.

These have been out for 2 years now, and there is another company that makes them I think but Alto is the best from what I heard. The shops that build transmissions probably outsource these parts with other transmission shops to get them built.

Yep, from SGP. My transmissions slips a lot though, and slipped on the dyno when Jim Wolf had it earlier this year. He didn't like that Originally Posted by Jeff92se
Nice. You already have a VB mod? Which one? Transgo?

So far ive been pretty lucky that my trans has held up after 53,000 boosted miles.If it does go this will be the route i take as i have a friend who builds tranmissions.
I can do everything myself but i dont know squat about the internals of a AT.

I wonder why mine shot then, I'd assume make it a lot sooner therefore it has hurt the tranny more.

I guess I ****ed that sentence up. What I meant to say is, since I make more torque than the s/c do earlier on it is probably why the tranny is acting up. At least this is what I've heard.

ya, if u damaged your tranny before upgrading your VB when u were sc that could have been the cause of the slip. Are u at least running a tranny cooler with the VB bc they could also damage your tranny due to excessive heating? I'm currently at 360 lb tq with the SGP VB and 2 tranny coolers (got the idea from a supra guy making 8--whp Originally Posted by Canadian

) and hopefully it's going to hold 400lb tq when I'm done with my rebuild.
