Pretty hard to do anything for 142 bucks. That’s maybe an hour and a half to cut the TC apart, clean it, modify it, assemble it, weld it back together and shove it in a box and send it.
Just got off the phone with them. The advertised TC at $142 was a stock replacement they have on the shelf. They offer a 12-L and a 12-H, at 1800rpm stall and 2000rpm stall respectively. I was told that for about another $150-$200 they could modify mine/or a core they may have.
I had my suspicions when I saw the low price tag, but that still isn't bad for someone who may be looking for a stock replacement. If finances and availability trump performance, it's a good deal.
For now I'll just use the factory TC until I can have one made.
That’s not even replacing any bad parts they may discover.
As an example I just bought a PTC converter for a 73 Duster. It was 595 bucks, took about 2.5 weeks to get it and it’s a 9.5 inch case, 9 inch stator 3500 converter.
That’s a smoking deal at 600 bucks. How someone can do anything close to that for about 1/3 of the money seems hard to me.
Just an FYI. BTW, the TC is about the single most important component on an automatic car. You can be off on quite a bit of stuff and you can crutch it along.
Miss on the TC and it will be miserable.
