[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 1041265, member: 71978"] I put this in a PM to you earlier but figured I'd post here too should anyone be following this in the future. Typically when you buy a rebuild kit and they don't identify with specificity a name brand, you're getting generic clutches and bands. When you see them state names like Raybestos, the price will be higher and you'll be getting that name brand in the friction parts. Amazon has raybestos kits, ebay, etc. just make sure whatever kit you're looking at, that it comes with everything that you'll need or want for your situation - some kits don't include steels (if you want new ones), some don't include the reverse bands, some don't have bushings, etc. Nothing worse than being in the middle of a rebuild and discovering that you're missing something that sets you back another few days. Personally I was planning to go with Raybestos because I know they're good parts. If you aren't towing or beating the hell out of the transmission then you'd be fine with standard generic parts. My biggest problem is that I tell myself, if I'm already spending $250 on a standard kit and Raybestos is $320, what is another $70? [/QUOTE]
