OK, well the tranny finally went out at 138k with no real warning signs. Does anyone know of a good transmission place in Jax? If not, I know a lot of folks had the tranny fixed at Aamco -any recommendations? prices? The dealer wants $3500 plus labor

Thanks guys

 

Dr. Evil's Replacement?!

 

Aamco stroked me for $3000 and my tranny isn't 100% fixed

 

FUCK Aamco. You don't want to go there. Get Doctor Evil. They are bullet-proof.

 

 

isn't fixed? what's wrong with it? did you get a warranty?

I was actually considering Aamco, because they are about the same price as everyone else (around 2k) and I can get a lifetime warranty for another $600. (if I have to dump this $$ into it, I am going to be driving it for a long long time). Plus I talked to a dozen different tranny places and the Aamco guy seems to be the only one that knows his shit.

What do you guys think?

A DE tranny would be great, but I can't spend that kind of $$ right now. $2500 is my limit.

 

I definitely say you pop the extra money and go for the DE.

If you go over to v6p.net I believ ethey're having some sort of group buy or something of the sort.

Why pay $2500 + $600 for an aamco tranny that probably won't last any longer than the autotragic honda?

On top of brand new (not just re-inforced) internals, you get other goodies I believe, such as torque converter and LSD and what not.

 

DE is $3500 plus shipping and I have to pay someone to swap them out. I can't do that right now...thanks for trying to help bro
