well just got back home with the freshly rebuilt trans.my friend installed a b&m trans rebuild with shift kit.every thing inside looked real good.thanks craig also picked up the drive shaft and engine plate.thanks so much L.S. for all you did today. here are some pics and i still need to clean it a little and paintit.but that will have to wait till sunday because im going to an A.D.R.L. event at national trail raceway fri.and sat. doorslammers gota love them. homermav and the purple haze
i had a good friend do it so i got a deal. a good trans shop isnt going to be cheap 500 or 600 if you supply the kit i would think
I paid $650 this year to have my c4 rebuilt with all new racing parts. The last one, before that, I had done was $400. That one was done by a guy who worked at a tranny shop and did some at home as a side job also.
Thanks for the suggested prices. I now know that my guy is trying to overcharge me and I will have to take it into town to get fixed (into Houston, and not my podunk little hometown suburb).
Build them yourself guys. It is the easiest auto tranny to rebuild from what I hear. I did one and it worked just fine. Spent $300 for a 500hp rebuild kit from Jay at Broader Performance and called him a couple of times with questions. I bought a book also. Really not that hard and no special tools to buy if you are handy. clint
Broader is driving distance from me, sorta. I am looking at a fresh rebuild in Houston, that I can drive on without leaks and worries while I get the old one built up for speed.
my b&m kit came with a book also.i watched my friend do it. didnt look to hard but since my friend said he would do it and has a ton of exsperience. to bad you couldnt find a tranny guy to do it on the side.
If all you want is a basic rebuild then do it yourself. It is easier than building a 302! If you want a performance C4 then it is a lot more work but it will shift better and last longer.
