Title: Gearbox / Transmission re-build
Post by: jpmbca on April 04, 2016, 02:33:27

Hi:
Can someone recommend a shop/someone to rebuild the 4sp transmission on my car?  My dream would be to find someone (anywhere in North America) that could look at it and say something like "yup, I've repaired about 10 of these".

(don't think there is anything mechanically wrong with it, but i have confirmed leaks on the front and rear seals).  And yes, its already out of the car.

Many thanks for any tips.

JP,
I'd recommend Bud's Benz in Douglasville, GA. They do outstanding work and they rebuilt my 4-spd several years ago. I'm sure they've done numerous 4-speeds over the years.

I would bet Joe Alexander is well versed in the 4 speed trans.
