Re: Tranny suggestions

You could get a mechanic to rebuild it for that kind of money if he did it on the side. Other than that, $1K would not even cover a standard R&R with rebuild and certainly not if you need a torque converter.

Re: Tranny suggestions

I know of a good trans guy in Redford, MI.. He does all my work.. Had my trans rebuilt and a 9.5 2400-2600 convertor and a shift kit around 2k, installed and adjusted the tv cable for me. He did the 700R-4 in my tahoe too. that was alittle more expensive.. I had to get a whole new core.. Bad u-joints vibrated so bad that it cracked the whole casing... Luckily the transfer case held up... I stand by his work.. Been to alot of trans. guys in my life went through four turbo 400's with bad trans guys... Can't trust most of them.. and a Art Carr is way out of budget for most.. Can you get it to Redford, MI?

Re: Tranny suggestions

I had my 700r rebuilt with a transgo shift kit kevlar bands ect. And a 2025 stall converter and it was $850 that also included a 25,000 lb tranny cooler and it wasnt a cheap rebuild either the man is very respected and known for his work. Im in rogers AR so maybe stuff like that is cheaper i dont know..
