Default buying a new transmission... need some help please!

so i went to my local transmission shop (terry's transmissions on taft road) and they said that my valve body was screwing up and giving my transmission low fluid pressure, soo... that also translates to why my car "chatters". because my computer is reading the low pressure it compinsates by taking in more fluid to increase the pressure, which is why my clutch packs are chattering because of the extra pressure. and this can also lead to hard shifts that are slightly noticable. so they quoted me a $2000-$3000 repair. i think i would rather go to triple edge performance and get an upgraded transmission ( + internals) for the same price lol. so ive got the basic list of what i will be getting. but i also want to get a new torque convertor as well. should i stay with the stock style convertor or select my own stall speed (trust me ive read so many articles on how to understand stall speeds and im barely figuring it out). so what im asking is what stall speed should i have or should i just go with the stock setup or maybe go just above or below it? thanks for reading and hopefully i can get some help!

heres a list of what will be in the new transmission.

Triple Edge Performance - Home Page

-Hardened 4th clutch shaft
-New Morse HyVo HV-093 V8 spec Gemini chain set
-Seals, gaskets, orings, and teflon sealing rings
-New USA made filter
-Borg Warner clutch plates and modified clutch stackup for improved shift feel


High Energy style 3rd friction plates will be used in place of Zpack frictions as they are discontinued
-New Forward apply band
-New thrust washers
-Common failure bushings replaced, others inspected and replaced as needed
-New stator support bearing
-Select bearings replaced standard, others inspected and replaced as needed
-New aftermarket input sun gear
-Reconditioned input clutch piston

All new solenoids in valve body including
-Borg Warner PCS for 97-02, OE AC Delco


-Borg Warner TCC PWM solenoid
-OE AC Delco shift solenoids

-Pressure switch manifold cleaned and tested, replaced as needed
-Wiring harness thoroughly tested and replaced as needed

-Sonnax Sure-Cure kit which includes these upgraded parts
-TCC apply valve
-TCC regulated apply valve
-TCC relief valve
-Improved boost valve and sleeve
-AFL valve and sleeve
-Lube tube retainer, improved check *****, pump slide pivot pin
-New for 2011+ rebuilds! Oversized Sonnax Torque Signal valve on more aggressive buildups

-Transgo Shift Kit- We slightly modify this kit for improved high throttle shift feel on modified cars as well as
make a few other changes internally to quicken and firm up shift feel. The extra modifications alone make a
very significant difference in shift feel and keep clutch packs alive under high powered abuse. We set up
every transmission different to best match the vehicle it will be installed in and this is why we must have
your specific vehicle details as we do not build a one-fits-all model.

-12 Month / 15K mile warranty on ALL High Performance rebuilds! Effective on all orders placed after 3-06-11

why dont you just get an upgraded valve body from triple edge if that the only thing causing the problem?

unless ur planning on modding
