I just purchased a complete rebuild kit, shift kit with electronic gear control, and converter for my e4od from Monster Transmissions. I saw them on the tv show, Extreem 4x4. Monster came highly recomended from the show. All their parts are for race / heavy duty applications. The rebuild, shift kit, and converter cost me about 780 shipped. Which i though was very good prices..

Here is the link.

That seems like a good price for everything with the converter. Make sure you get the one that mates to the 5.0 flexplate. List looks like everything I would use but keep in mind you could find something damaged during the teardown.

This sounds about right. I paid just under $200 for mine and it included a TC (and a couple additional parts that I didn't do right the first time ;D ). I bought a rebuild kit from Autozone that included the gaskets, intermediate band, filter, and clutches. I did not replace the servo or install a shift kit.

In hindsight I would have gone to a local tranny shop for everything. Turns out I had a couple washers that were damaged which I bought from the shop. They also could have sold me all the gaskets, etc. at a better price.
They were great about sharing tips and explaining how things worked and what went where. Between this site and their tech I was able to get the job done and this was my first rebuild.

It took me a couple tries to find the right shop though. I bought the TC from another local shop early in the process and they couldn't offer much advice but they did air test the clutch packs for me when I was having problems. The second local shop figured out I needed a couple rings replaced and were very knowledgable about the C4.

Some kind of shop manual is a must. Take pictures of everything, organize all the parts and label them during disassembly. Air test the clutch packs before you put it all back together - I installed, removed, and rebuilt my C4 three times before I got it right. The air test will save you that trouble. There's lots of knowledgable people on here that are more than willing to help. It's worth the time to do this yourself. Good luck!
