KEEP IN MIND my truck has 209k TOTAL miles on it the tranny is a Jasper Rebuilt IDK how many miles the guy told me it had MAYBE 10k but had no documentation so it could be any amount... I bought my truck last summer, it shifted hard and the od light was flashing... this is before i knew anything about the IDI or even knew this site existed. The owner told me it was because of a shift kit in the tranny it was build for pulling big campers he said. Eventually the tranny started acting up making noises and the Torque Converter eventually went out, dropped tranny pulled TC as i assumed that was the issue cut it open sure enough the TC internals were BUSTED in pieces... tranny shop says the tranny will need rebuilding because of this. I couldnt afford the rebuild because they want 1800 to rebuild it so i bought the $200 Reman OEM Torque converter from them truck drives great shifts fine but my fluid always smells burnt and SOMETIMES DOES act funny but ONLY after heating up ive only driven like 100 miles at once maybe twice when the tranny heats up a bunch... Ive changed the tranny filter twice now and am going to again today or tomorrow as the last time i ruined the pan gasket by over torquing and while i change that i might as well change the filter again...
What my question is, should i get this rebuilt? how much SHOULD this rebuild cost? is there anything i can do to clean up the tranny without a rebuild so the fluid will stop burning or smelling burnt and stay cooler???? any input would be greatly appreciated as I love my truck i bought an ats 093 turbo setup thats about ready to go on and am in the process of restoring it with a new paint job already bought a new bed for it and my father actually owns a body shop he is repairing my cab corners and front fenders and he will be squirting it when all done, i dont wanna do all this to it and then have to spend 1800 on a tranny otherwise the truck runs GREAT
