Reaper Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Just wondering where you guys in Ohio get your transmissions rebuilt.... Guy that I have used a few times is getting on my nerves so I want to check into a few others if its possible... Need a street/strip 4L80E done with a converter.. Thanks, Tom Quote
502ci Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I got mine rebuilt at Cottman Transmission in North Royalton, I just looked them up on line to see if one was near you but there are only 4 in Ohio...I thought there were more... Anyways, I lucked out I guess because the guy who did mine lived and breathed transmissions. I have never seen someone who loved his job more...he did all their hi-performance builds and had a wall full of pictures of the cars he did (muscle cars and hot rods). He told me to stop up the next day to see how it was going, I checked it out and was more than impressed with his skill and attitude towards his work... I know this is too long of a hall for you but I thought I'd mention it. Bill Quote
72MC Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Tom, you have Gear Star right there in Akron, OH. They are building me a 4L80, non eletric, manual shift only. Per the owner, Zach, it will handle 800hp at the wheels. All custom parts. They have other levels of 4L80's as well. - Dave Quote
Reaper Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Hey 72MC if you dont mind me askin... How much are you payin for that trans? I think Im gonna try and give them a call tomorrow but Im curious... Thanks, Tom Quote
72MC Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Tom, I was quoted 5 large!!!. That includes a Yank convertor which is almost $1000.00. The 300m metal input shafts cost over $2300.00 by itself. Per Zach, this thing should be bullet proof and they do offer a good warranty. Don't know it off the top of my head. I called them originally to order their level 3 200r4 which handles 600hp. After a lengthy, helpful, and insightful conversation with Zach, I decided to go with the 4l80. He is putting a 4l80 in his muscle car as well. Hope that helps - Dave Quote
