I am going to buy a Jasper Transmission... I dont know much about these manufacturers and i was wondering if you might have any info on them. The thing looks brand new, but the guy said the car it was in (a mark viii) was t-boned, apparently not too bad. What do you guys think?
 
It's rebuilt to stock specs, nothing special, a lot of used car dealers and repair garages use Jasper to source rebuilt engines and trannies.
 
So you think it has the new 98 upgrades? Or is it an exact replica of the 93 -96 time bomb trannies? Im sure it was manufactured after 2005 because he said it was pretty new.
 
Good question. I would call Jasper and ask what their protocol is/was. Likely depends when and for what model it was rebuilt for. If so, it likely has the factory spec upgrades IF the case is the newer late model.
 
Can I just get a serial number or something off of it and call them to get the specs? It would seriously amaze me if they made a transmission in 2005 and put the crappy old parts and design rather than the 2005 4R70W design for 2WD 4.6L engines.
 
I looked up on a price for a transmission for a 93 mark viii on jasper. And heres what I got.

**Installation Information: TR/MLPS (Neutral Safety Switch Sensor)
can cause failure. Installer must verify that their existing trans
switch has part # F5AZ-7A247AA. If not this part#, it must be
replaced or warranty is void.
1. The snap ring on the intermediate clutch is replaced with wrap
ring and staked retainer (original would pop off) -- prevents snap
ring popping off, intermediate sprag failure, and unit failure.
2. The first/second accumulator and springs are updated for extended
life. Updated 1-2 accumulator piston (aluminum piston wears case)
--to prevent case wear, delayed engagements, harsh 1-2 shift, and 2nd
clutch failure. Also, 100% updated 2-3 accumulator piston to prevent
harsh 2-3 shift and 3rd clutch failure.
3. Latest EPC solenoid and latest solenoid clips for improved
pressure control.
4. POLICE APPLICATIONS & OTHER HIGH PERFORMANCE UNITS: Have a 4 plate
intermediate clutch for higher torque capacity and premature failure.
They also have a 6 plate direct clutch.
5. POLICE APPLICATIONS & HIGH PERFORMANCE UNITS: have the latest
mechanical diode (also all 98 and up 4R70W) to prevent intermediate
sprag failure.
6. All units have a 6 plate direct clutch for durability.
7. Rooster comb modified on Police units to keep from dropping into
Low on run (intermediate sprag failure).
8. The extension housing gasket is updated for longer life.
9. 100% Boost valve kit replacement (high wear item) --prevents
delayed reverse, reverse shudder, and poor reverse boost.
10. 100% pressure regulator valve replacement (high wear item) --to
prevent low low line pressure rise. soft shift, and delayed
engagement.
11. 100% bypass converter clutch sleeve and plunger valve (high wear
items) --prevents delayed lock-up , no lock- up, and shudder
condition.
12. Case, valve body, and pump assembley are checked for flatness to
prevent cross leaks that cause low pressure, binding, and unit
failure.
13. All bushing and thrust surfaces are finished to 15RA or less to
prevent bushing wear, washer wear, fluid contamination, and unit
failure.
14. Transmission is tested with control volume of air before the
valve body is installed to prevent minor circuit leaks that can lead
to performance problems.
15. Converter is remanufactured on a state-of-art converter
aligner/welder to keep hub run out to .010 of an inch or less (OEM is
.015 of an inch)---prevents pump bushing wear, front seal leaks, and
vibrations.
16. New line bored pump bushing or bore guaged pump bushing to keep
bushing concentric and better bushing to converter hub contact to
prevent front seal leaks, noisy pump, and fluid contamination.

Does this sound like it has all the upgrades? Its price is just over 2k . I am paying under 1/16th of that. He said the jasper was made for a 94 and it was made around 2005 - I will call them with a serial number to get more info.
 
I helped a friend put a reman in a Grand Am... 500 miles later it threw a rod while he was driving down the road going 55.... They said that the wrong oil was used and improper break in techniques were at fault and it wasn't being covered.

We put in the right oil and used proper break in techniques...
 
Yea well, I dont know if this is under warranty. I cant get much information about when it was made , blah blah, I have it now, And I have a production number its 189616, but cant seem to find a place to look it up. It looks nice, looks like it may have been outside for a week... or month. But I turned the torque converter and it spins easily. Still shows some fluid in it too, looks ok. Lines are cut and sealed, along with dipstick, and said it came out of a 93 :) Should I drain it all and put new filter and mercon V ? I really want to have it all done this weekend.
