I continue to be amazed that people have to pay
1000 for a torqueflight rebuilt. My trans guy did a rebuild and a
rebuilt torque converter for 300 bucks and that included a case saver for a
broken drive sprag. I did the remove and install.

I missed any responses to kevin's transmission question on
dec 17. my 71 trans is headed down hill faster than the car can
go. (metaphorically speaking). I seems everytime an autotrans is
worked on it is $1000 or more. I feel like it is a rule that all
trans repairs have this minimum fee. I understand the work and
time just to remove and install is unescapable. my personal experience
is from 3 other chryslers but the gold brick (71 4dr gold color) is probably
next. I will admit i am afraid to venture in where little elves
quietly shift the gears and make the machine move. I am almost set
with all the tools to start doing this myself but does anyone out there have
personal experience with this stuff? can i get a good rebuild book and
learn how to do this mystical repair myself? I have had good and bad
repair shop experience in the past that is why i learned to work on my cars
in the first place. In my opinion, the shop did something wrong on
Kevin's trans since it broke 2 months after the warranty expired instead of
the next day. (joke, you have all been there).

brick" eastland texas
