Basic Text:
This is a reasonable introduction to the Torqueflite tranny. After reading I still wouldn't be comfortable rebuilding one.
Not for first timers:
This is an excellent book and how to make one of the best automatic transmissions ever made, even better. However I recomend doing at least one standard torqueflite rebuild before venturing into some of the modifactions that are shown in the book. The torqueflite is one of the easist automatics to overhaul and a very durable transmission. Information is this book is meant for people with some experience with this transmission. This book is a huge asset to those who work on these and rebuild them. Years... more info

I bought these books for my brother for Christmas and he couldn't wait to tie into them. He loved them! Thanks!
Better than a factory service manual! BIG TIME!:
I borrowed this book the first time I ventured into the automatic tranny. I've since built 4 of them! This is by far, THE best information for the DIY'ers! The statement below saying it's not a step-by-step how-to is not accurate. It does involve alot of theory and what-not, and it does go into hi-po mods, but it certainly is a step-by-step manual that covers most years of builds. READ IT FIRST completely before you dive in to the rebuild! Highly recommended, and I'm buying myself a copy now... more info
