How many performance trans builders do you know that are willing to teach all the secrets in one book??
ATSG = Stock rebuild
CK Manual = Performance rebuild, troubleshooting, upgrades, etc.
The investment is priceless for the knowledge you gain. You have to consider this
is yeeeeeears of expertise, troubleshooting, trial and error all at your fingertips for $50 more then a factory
rebuild book.
If the recently deceased "Dr Olds" (Joe Mondello) wrote a book on how to do every upgrade
he knew of to an Oldsmobile motor, it would sell like mad. That's what this is on par with IMO.
Just got mine a few weeks ago and I waited a few months for their updated manual.
Well worth the wait and I've been reading mine at work in my off time nightly.
I have the 200-4R rebuild DVD and it was a great reference to tear a trans down and rebuild it
to stock specs, but this book was necessary to teach me the high performance upgrades with
photo's for reference. DVD = Visual training that helps alot.
I could only hope for something this good with other transmissions in the future for hobbyists.
I hope he does a book for modern transmissions in the future. I'd buy it.
