Hahah first there is no such thing as an input shell, it's either the sun shell or the input drum, both of which have updated designs. Also the "beast sun shell" is last decade's news, the Sonnax smart shell is a much better investment now a days. Anyone still recommending the old design doesn't know what they are talking about and anyone saying "Good move, beast shell, good move!" is a ******** joke.

I honestly don't know what shell he got retorq. Did not recommend one over the other also. I just (and this is important) assumed he was not given the Sonnax one and got the other instead being how it was not a performance build and was done by Aamco I believe based on the info he provided so far. Could be wrong. Was just using deductive reasoning. If Aamco is using the Sonnax now then that is good of course. But it is definite wrong to say some one is an "******** joke" because I say that specifically worded statement. You obviously have some issue with me that apparently brings out the negative attitude IMO. If you disagreed you could have said so in a appropriate manner. At any rate I don't tolerate that kinda stuff so I will put you on the ignore list. I think it would be best for both of us.

The Beast is better than the OEM by far. Now the Sonnax is a different story.
I'm still happy with my monster in a box kit.

I know this is a few months old but I'm curious about your monster in a box kit livingez_123. I'm looking at rebuilding my tranny and would greatly appreciate your input. Which kit did you get, how happy are you with it? Did you have to order any other parts for your rebuild?
