Sam (Bones) Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 talk to Bill (502ci), he had a trans done, and may know a good rebuilder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsmc Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 i drove to summit and bought the TCI street fighter series trans. 2000 stall b&m converter. i said what the heck , at least it will be reliable. not cheap but hopefully worth it.

502ci Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hey Bob, I mentioned Cottman transmission did mine at the gathering last Saturday, I don't remember if it was to you or someone else. Here's a link to ones in the area...Click Here I had mine done in North Royalton, I see there is one in Brunswick also. I don't know if I lucked out but the guy who did mine (I think he does all their high performance work) loved his job to the point I have never met someone like him before. I knew I was in the right place when I walked in and they had a wall full of photos of classic cars, hot rods, etc. that they have worked on.

BowtieThunder Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The guy that does mine here in Akron will build you a good reliable piece if you are looking for some one.He does mine and 99% of the time i only pull it for freshening up.He builds 200r's for GN's and I think is reasonably priced.Just throwing that out to you Bob.
