Here comes new tranny!!!
 

Everybody!!

Tada!?

I have to get sometranny work done soon. I am litterally driving my auto manually because if I let it shift on it's own it'll slip, flare, hang (all the bad stuff). Therefore, aside from the lack of ability to get it to Washington for a 5 speed (What I really wanna do!!) What things should I consider while this puppy is cracked open (If I go for rebuild). I am looking for both reliablility and performance items.

Skip the tranny cooler, already arranging for that.

Bite the bullet and ship it to Washinton to get the five speed, its AWESOME to drive. Worth the $$$ if you have it. When I spoke to Brian at the meet he said downtime would only be a week or so, so it might even be faster. I believe the figure quoted was ROUGHLY 4 grand.

if it is 4K without tax, it's worth it if you want the 5 spd. With tax and services and all that, it comes out around 3.5k from dealer and I will not trust anyone else to rebuilt it (perhaps level 10 guys).

Good luck with your trans.

see -- I told you so in my signature.

Randy,

I hope and pray you are taking the car to Mastro for a new tranny and not to some butcher to hack it up and leave you without a car for weeks. My transmission job at Mastro was a two day process and they did it perfectly. Have them install a cooler for extra protection, they'll do it.

Good luck!

Jeff

in order to have the 5-speed installed.
 

wouldnt you have to send the whole car? i mean new pedals and a new gear shift have to be installed not to mention a new tranny amongst other things. can you afford to ship your whole car and be without it for two+ weeks?
