Cleaning/rebuilding stock D5 or replace
« on: December 28 2014, 09:58:07 PM »
I am finishing up a rebuild on my brf trans.  I am just doing a stock style rebuild following the CK book.

I have a stock (as far as I know) D5 converter 110,000 miles.  Stock longblock, TA49 turbo, and no plans to try to set the world on fire with this car.  I will take it to the track occasionally but it is a street car first.

How much should I expect to pay to have a shop work on my converter?  What would I need done, replace the lockup clutch, and increase the stall some? 

Price wise how does that compare to buying a new converter?  Besides increase in stall is there any major benefit of an aftermarket converter compared to the stock?

Edit:  I forgot to say I am trying to keep my $$ investment in the 2004R platform to a minimum.

Costs would of course depend on where you live. I live in Hawaii and when I priced a restall and cleanout of my D5 it was only a couple hundred less than a new 9.5 from Dave Husek so I went that route. I was on a budget too but never regretted the decision.

How's your assembly coming along? Did you get the servo worked out?

Should be someone local there in H-town that the racers use.

I'd have the trans swapped to a NL configuration and go with an off the shelf 2800 NL PTC convertor for that TA 49.
