trans repair shop
Looking for a recommendation or some experiances with shops in the Tacoma area preferably.
Basically my high clutch has gone out and im weighing options. 4.44 swap or similar. Rebuild/fix clutch and weither or not its something im going to be able to do or if im taking it to a shop. September of 2012 i replaced the internal filter and refilled (old fluid wasnt burnt or real dark but had alot of metal in it). Slipping started out of the blue two weeks ago. A few days after fixing the squeeling ps pump. I noticed it while driving slow (25mph) so I was able to drop it down to second. First and second work great. Driving I5 in 2nd just isn't a good long term plan. Very minimal driving while the trans slipped. Mostly just to get a better feeling of what was happening with it so I could try to diagnose. I would like to just tear her open and fix the clutch but I haven't been able to locate any kind of guide on the matter. Just don't have the money to throw it in a shop and say fix it. If anyone has a shop in the area that has done similar work for a good price or any input at all I would appriciate it.

Re: trans repair shop
I think there's a couple svx's in the yard in Eburg. It would
Probably be cheaper to r&r the transmission than to get into The internals. Unless you know your way around AT insides!! |

Re: trans repair shop
My plan as it stands currently is to hit up the local pick n pull for a 4.44 and diff this weekend. From my research it seems like it should be within the scope of what I can accomplish. Then ill see about tearing the svx trans open and fixing it for standby. It'll be the biggest project I take on so it'll be a while. I still need to find any seals or gaskets that will be needed if any (im assuming there is something).
