I bought a GER 10" 2800 stall and used it for about 4 years until my 60 foots started going away.Then I noticed a funny noise from the trany when at idle.I sent it back and they told me all of the vanes were bent over the other way.The only good thing I can say is they did honor their 5 year warranty on convertor that was 2 months from being 5 years old.They sent me a new one and I used it for one race and installed a TCI 8".I still have it and there is nothing wrong with it,but it is in a box under my bench.I consider it a street convertor.On T400s,theyare not difficult if you are a good mechanic.Pretty basic.I have found Hughes race kit has most of the good stuff that a rebuild kit should have.It is the only one I know of that has a Clevite or Federal Mougal center support bushing.(very important)TCIs,B&M kits ect have a bushing that has a part number only on it and they are a "offshore" bushing.I also like to use the later model teflon seal rings instead of the cast iron.I unknowingly cracked a iron one once and it made a mess.The trany ran fine it seemed until my burnout.The car did not spin the tires at all and there was a horrible smell.The broken 1/2 inch peice went through the pump,ruined it and the first gear cluthch pack had a MELTDOWN.I saved the trany though but things like this can be avoided with the teflon seals.They work great.I also like the Trans Go shift kit.Top quality like the Hughes rebuild kit.
