Anyone use their products? Good or bad? Looking for a turbo 400 in the north Maryland/Delaware area.

If you don't mind paying shipping, order one from Jakes Performance in TX. We have a lot of folks on here (including myself) who can tell you that his 400's are built right.

I bought a 8" spragless converter from them 3 years ago. I like that converter the best of several I have. I am a satisfied customer.

I'm using on of their TH400's and it's been perfect so far. It's about 5 years old.

Trans Specialties built the trans for my car. You'll want to ask what speedo driven gear the trans has on the tailshaft. You'll want to have a 15 tooth drive gear. Easy enough to change. Their basic trans come with the 34 element sprag/drum. Mine held up well with the stock input shaft and forward hub for 6 years of street use and couple hundred passes behind the 469" motor. 1000 miles and 30 passes behind the 540" and the stock input shaft ate the splines from the forward hub. That got replaced with the 300M input shaft and billet hub. Questions are where do you stop, how much risk do you want to take? I was told the stock input shaft/hub is reliable to about 800HP. 300M input takes it to about 1000HP, also adds roughly $300.00 to the tab. You can quickly get to $2,000.00 in a trans built to take a beating.

PS - converter I was running behind the 540" was their 10" XHD LS (2900-3300). When the input shaft let loose, we had swapped in a one of a kind Coan 13" 2400 stall that I had Coan build. That converter was great for low speed street driving, but proved to be a little harsh at WOT shifts behind the 540". So, went back to the T-S XHD.

I'm within driving distance to them. I'd have a trans shipped from california before i'd drive to TSI.


^^^^ I hope that was subtle enough.




If you're looking for a good 400 and the budget allows, then check out Rossler and ATI.

I have been running their Super 9" Spragless converters since 2006 and have used thier pro brakes in a couple of glides. I havn't had any issues but I have never run one of their tranny's. I am very satisfied with the parts I have used though.

I Have had very good luck with Abruzzi Transmissions.

X2 Jake will take care of you.

One pro glide I had to re-do, Valve body was not torqued or in straight. A stock case glide burnt the clutches in 10 passes. My spragless converter is awesome though along with the 180 planetary. Going on three years behind 900hp with no problem and the converter is staying consistent.

I'm a Trans Specialties dealer and use some of their parts and so far so good.

ATI is in that area as well. Abruzzi is good. There should be someone local that can take care of you.
