Just wondering if anyone knows of a tranny shop in the midwest, preferably close to Michigan? Looking to get my 12V manual transmission inspected and possibly rebuilt.
Thanks |

Don't know of one personally. But go to the General/Chat forum, click on the Michigan Dubbers thread. Maybe one of them can help.

| DRE in Carol Stream, IL. Try a search, otherwise I'll look for thier number. They do a lot of Formula Vee work but my buddy had the trans for his 65 done by them and was very happy with it. |

Thanks for the advice.
Russ - I actually need a swing-axle transmission - they are different right?
A few years back before my car was in a thousand pieces it would pop out of gear once in awhile. I have read that 90% of the time it is the drive flanks on the synchro teeth...anyway, something that I cannot fix! So I thought it would be a good time to get it rebuilt. I would just rather not pay the shipping to California or core fee for a new one, if possible. Kinda cheap aren't I?
Chicagovw- I couldn't find DRE with a search engine but found it on Yahoo's yellow-pages. This "DRE" is in Elgin 630-213-1010? They had a website that looks to be based around their main shop/headquarters in Kentucky. Do you know how much he paid for his rebuild? |
