I have always had the local transmission guy rebuild mine. Never had an issue except the filter falling off once. Added a washer or something to prevent it from ever happening again.

At this point I'd say most build pretty decent stuff, and all have had a few exceptions.
Bomber, punisher, MTS, Heavy D, and so on. I think really for me, it's about picking whoever you can trust, and important for me is availability. Closeness, how fast they answer questions, so on.
Most will tell you what fluid to run it, what is there preferred cooler type, that you should make sure your fluid and tranny cooler is clean and so on.
Last tranny I got was from a local derby builder up this way (Brett Nelson), haven't had any issues with him and he is less then an hour away from me.

I have a bomber super trans now, Brian White at HLK deals then and handles the customer service aspect, he’s a friend of mine but never had any issues with customer service, more than willing to help, and easy to deal with. As a team we bought 4 earlier this year. He is able to ship also.

I recently purchased a devil dog trans from Cody mittleider on Facebook. A couple guys around me referred him. I have one small run on it so far pretty good. As for price just call or shoot him a message.

I went through 5 of the 350 turbos and I swapped to stock 400 turbo this past run and it hold up better then the 350 turbos for sure. MTS will tell you he loves building 350 turbo and they will run with his 400 turbos but I've yet run one of his tho. Heavy D has their constant line pressure thats my guess others don't or atleast don't advertise. If you go to Blizzard bash to watch next month maybe able to pick one up if you order now through a vendor.
