Sully Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey all, I need to have the transmission rebuilt in the TA and would like to have it rebuilt with upgraded parts. Is there anyone local that can do this for a good price? I have been thinking about just buying the parts from t56rebuilds.com and doing it myself to save some money, but since the trans is a very critical component, I think I would rather have an expert do it. If you know of anyone, let me know. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Sam knows a guy in Indiana, his name is Rodney. He really knows what he's doing. I lost the contact info, but I'm sure Sam has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 There's a guy at Bobb Chevy who does all of the local GM dealership tranny rebuilds. GM Master Tech, blah blah blah. The ONLY thing he does is trannies, and had mine done in half a day. Contact RUTAN TA on here for his info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorback Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Just stay away from Cottman Transmissions. Worst quality of customer service and labor I've ever seen in an automotive business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1slow-z Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 There is a guy outside of grovecity that did a good job on my transmission in my 01 z who would charge around 500 bucks plus the cost of parts if you are interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chpmnsws6 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Send it down to Joe. It will total 639 in parts to do it yourself and for the extra 200 you get a 1 year warrenty. This being said, I rebuilt mine because its easy to rebuild manuals. The hardest part is lining up the shift bars in the t56 housing.
