    I repair all three at my shop and from that I believe the brinn is top of the list.the bert is the most popular(the sbc of the trany's) the falcon I would not use in any of my cars just a cheap design.ther are guys that like the falcon I just .

    none of them are a straight easy change.

    bert to brinn shifter linkage and drive shaft.
    bert to falcon crank coupler,shifter linkage and drive shaft.
    brinn to falcon crank coupler and shifter linkage.

    you can use the same bellhousing with all 3 the falcon does have a very thin bellhousing about 2 inches thick for eastern modifieds.

    we went with a falcon because it was about $400 cheaper out of the box and we have had zero problems with it. with proper upkeep they will last forever. we run about 40 races a year and change the fluid every 5 races with synthetic ATF per the manual. We have had it for 5 years now and the only thing we have done is take it apart after this year and change out the clutch pack because we felt like it. ended up keeping the old ones in a container of atf because they looked brand new. so we have about 200 nights on it plus about 10 ten test and tune days and still have a brand new tranny with minimal costs.

    Brinn tranny with a Bert bellhousing. I like the Bert coupler as it is a 2 piece and a lot cheaper to just replace the ring gear than a whole new Brinn coupler. The Brinn has been bulletproof..going on 5 years now with the same clutch pack..

    Nothing against Bert or Brinn....But a friend of mine has run a USED Falcon approximately 60 nights over the last 2 1/2 years with ZERO problems.
