Lower cost transmission options?

Then go talk to Chris. I'm sure he'll help. Look man, I'll tell you straight up. if you can screw a bolt in with a ratchet and socket, you can build a 904. That's no exaggeration. They are that simple. How you like those prices on that link I posted for you? LOL Ain't they a hoot? Other folks want like 399 bucks for a 5 disc direct drum...EMPTY and those come with NEW clutches and steels INSTALLED for less than 60 bucks.. Can't beat it.

That's all I needed to hear. I have no problem tearing apart anything else on my car and I was a bit intimidated at first just from looking at exploded views of auto trannies. That is awesome about those prices too, how can there be such a huge difference between WIT and the others?

Anyway sounds like a good plan so far, what about the overhaul kits offered by WIT? Altogether will I need one of those, the two drums, and the valve body? Here's another question, what's the difference between a shift kit and a valve body?

EDIT: I found those pans with the cooling tubes (made by Derale) but they are only available for the 727/518...
