Anybody running alto red eagles and kolene steels in their autos? Iv been told by many that this is the only rebuild kit they would run and it's half the price of the big names!

Thats what i got in my 24v. I like them so far.

I can't see sigs, how much power are you making?

It seems like every aftermarket tranny shop runs them. I'd rather have Rayobestos blue plate clutches and Kolene steels! The blue plates are gaurenteed not to burn up or slip!! They are Kevlar coated. But they are EXPENSIVE!!!

Anyone know what the kit is rated at?

 

[cummins04.5handshaker]

They are in most tranny's that hold 700+HP

last batch of the raybestos ones we were getting ready to stack the overdrive in my trans when it just wasn't lining up after a few tries. Took the plates over to the granite in the shop and they looked like Pringle chips. It got the alto's after that. :thumbsup:

This is making me lean alot closer to them!

My extreme duty rebuild kit from Suncoast had Red Eagle clutches with Kolene steels...never had a problem with them yet, I've been running them for almost 5 years now.

Really? Good to know!

This is on a truck thats stock except for a boost elbow with 222k miles.

I just had my trans rebuild with the alto/kolene black steels. I expected a clutch pack like this to be very aggressive with the apply. But between that and the sonnex sure cure valve body rebuild its a smooth shift that doesnt feel weak. If that makes any sense.

That, it also helped with the extremely long delay in putting the truck in gear and it applying. So far Im extremely pleased with how it came out.

Where did y'all get your kits?

 

[cummins04.5handshaker]

You should search all the big name tranny companies. They all have their master rebuilt kit with these clutches and steels. DTT, Goerend, Suncoast, Garmon, Revmax. ATS uses their own set of friction baked material and steels.

 

[txsmoker]

I have priced all the others but I can get a master alto kit for half their price on ebay

 

[txsmoker]

Goerand uses oem style

 

[cummins04.5handshaker]

I couldn't find any info on Georends website that says what clutches they use.. OEM is either Rayobestos or Borg-Warner IIRC

 

[txsmoker]

Alto reds and kolene steels here. I really like them, they bite hard and I haven't slipped them yet.
