I want yall's opinion on this. I am thinking of starting a tc, vb, etc fund for when the time comes. If i'm abl rto purchace and install before the trans goes out or should i wait till it goes and have all the parts installed while its being rebuilt?

Also, does anybody know what actually goes out in a tranny when they do go bad? any particular part more so than any other?

Thanks fo rany input.

I don't have any answers for you, but I wouldn't mind knowing the same things!

there alot that could happen, TC could melt to the flywheel, could blow up and send metal throughout your trans. shafts could break...ect I did mine before it went bad...

The NORMAL failures seen in teardowns are clutch failures. (causes: too many shifts, overheating, lack of sufficent servicing, seal failures, not in any order)
Next might be converter failures. (causes: too many heavy cycles, overheating, TC clutch failure from warping, cracking, or disintergating, excessive stall time)
Next might be VB and electrical failures. (causes: things happen)
Last may be carnage. (causes: Improper operator demands)
Or a combination of above in most any order.
Recomendations for long life: Service properly and operate reasonable and don't overload.
