    My Speed Shop Said To Modify Stock Valve Body Instead Of Revmax

    Guys was set to order the Revmax billet valve body.

    Spoke to my speed shop and he said that they can modify the stock valve body and add a few more bearings and it will be as strong s the revmax at half the price.

    Have not heard of this any ideas?

    They are a very reputable shop-would not mind saving the $$ but would rather be safe.

    Thanks.

    I think that’s what early 68RFE transmission shops did.

    Then they went to billet and reinforced them to prevent cross leaks and make it stiffer.

    I’m no transmission guru, but improving only one component and not the others would seemingly transfer the weak link to another non built section of the system.

    I went for a full built Revmax 7 series.

    It’s overkill for what I’m doing, but at least I know I’ll never have to worry about it again.

    Should be here and installed in about a week

    The RevMax HD is plenty for 95% of customers and are one of the best.

    Not saying your shop isn't as good but I'd go with what is proven, RevMax.

    How many of these have they added bearings to?

    I feel like you cant go wrong with Revmax. Lots of trucks have their parts.

    Revmax stands behind their products.

    How is the speed shops warranty?

    Ummmm there’s no bearings In the valve body.

    Revmax checks lower plate for flatness puts a bonded separator plate, either uses a new upper half or reams and replaces the ssv and und uses the accumulator plate with extra bolts on their low end valve bodies.

    High end get above plus billet plates and billet accumulators.

    Most trans shops can do this. I’d make sure they are reaming the ssv for the sonnax oversized if I were you.

    Call Revmax and get the info from the horse's mouth.

    They are awesome to talk with and their huge advocates of the DRD tuning in correlation with their products.

    Just call em, they are awesome!
