They are easy to rebuild. You can get everything you need from John at Cope Racing Transmissions. You will also need a FSM or O/H manual from ATSG for your transmission for torque specifications. Tools Needed Snap Ring Pliers Slide Hammer 1/4" Drive Torque Wrench for Valve Body 3/8 Drive Torque Wrench for everything else

Any help on who to contact for rebuild kit or preferably new trans and converter.
Thanks in advance.
Just for giggles, what are the symptoms that lead you to a rebuild. There are some problems that are electronic that can be remedied. Just asking.

Make absolutely sure that you keep everything CLEAN. Valve bodies do not appreciate debris or contamination. You will need the specific tool for the overdrive unit and as mentioned an H-press for the 600lbs spring. A clean parts cleaner is a big plus as well. Also make sure you order both bands front and rear as some kits only come with one. You will also have to order the transducer and solenoid for the valve body separately.

most overhauls do not need a new rear band it is only applied in rev or manual low so it gets very little use.

Perhaps true, however why not replace it while you have it apart? Seems to me if you don't want a half ass overhaul why not do it right the first time? I guess I'm not big into removing and reinstalling transmissions.
If that's what u want to do that's fine but 99.9% of the time replacing the rear band is a waste of money unless you where having problems with rev slipping. It is not a shifting band it is applied while you are sitting still.
I spent 27 years in the business and have done more of these units than most people have ever seen. And most of the time the rear bands look like new.
There is a big difference in a true rebuilder that knows what is good and what is bad by looking at the parts and someone that is just a parts changer.
Absolutely true. I was a trans tech at a Dodge dealer for over 20 years. I've literally rebuilt thousands of these things and can count on the fingers of one hand the times a rear band needed to be replaced.

Perfect example why Chrysler has such a bad reputation regarding service departments. There is a reason why these technicians have rebuilt "thousands" of these transmissions......just replace what is absolutely necessary that will get the customer out of their hair.
Ah, wrong. As I've said before people that don't work in the business have no clue how it's done. When the manufacturer is paying for the repair they dictate the terms and process. You can't just replace parts "because you are in there". Replaced parts are sent back to the manufacturer and analyzed. If they are not bad they are charged back to the dealer and maybe even the entire repair. Even if they don't charge the repair back your warranty costs are compared to every other dealer in the nation. If you are high they send in an audit team. If that happens you better hope every little jot and tittle is documented, time stamped and signed for as returned otherwise you are facing a major charge back.
They will take a sample of say maybe 100 tickets over a weeks time. They average what they are charging back then multiply that by however many months or years the audit was for. The dealer can get hit for hundreds of thousands of dollars over very minor infractions.
Secondly most every dealer tech in this country works flat rate. Meaning if they aren't working they aren't getting paid and sometimes when they are working they are working for nothing. Case in point if I overhauled a trans and didn't replace the rear band and it went bad within a year and/or 12,000 miles guess what? I'm, doing it for free and the dealer is eating the parts because the manufacturer isn't paying that claim.
So if you think I would risk any of those scenarios by not replacing the rear band you have no clue.
