I need a shop that doesnt suck, and wont try to pull me pants down over the price.

Maybe a transmission shop would be a good place to start, but if you now of a good shop that can do transmission work but is not a transmission shop, id like to hear it.

But its needs to be a shop that knows about older american pick-ups, not a shop that specializes in imports, etc

just get another trans. older american pickup, im sure there are tons of trans out there for cheaper than a shop would charge

the trans isnt the problem

2/18/2007 3:04:07 PM

well i dont know why i thought it was the problem...

ive got blown gaskets between the trans and the engine causing my clutch to be saturated. I just cant seem to get to them, so i decided before i fucked anything up to that i might as well pay to have it done

I've had mine worked on at Cottman's. I don't have any major complaints.

sounds like your rear main seal. the transmission/clutch/flywheel has to be pulled to replace it.

^ i know i started doing it in my parking lot, and got the gear box off, and started on the bell housing, then i decided i should cut my loses and call a shop

but knowing whats wrong isnt really the problem. The problem is im not from around here, and normally i do all my own work so i never needed a shop (besides a tire shop) So i need to know of somewhere good.

I was thinking Dauntless Transmissions

if you've got the transmission out, you've done the hard part...

2/18/2007 3:15:57 PM

well actually i stoped after i got the gear box off, because the trans mounts are on the bellhousing, so i was going to have to jack up the engine to pull off the bellhousing. since i dont have a lift, this seemed a little to much for me to do in the parking lot today, so i went ahead and put the shit back tegether, and i must have shifted the gears or something cause the thing wont shift. So im throwing in the towel. Im pretty sure it will go back into gear once i spin the driveshaft a few times, but id rather just let someone look at it

does not compute


Unless you are made of money. Or better yet the woman who won the lotto the other day. Which could be, because you are acting like a little bitch about this thing. What kind of car is this?
