So i just got my shift kit in and i picked up the car and the tech wanted to talk to me ... I was like ummm this aint good, so i got back to the cave and he greets me and goes right into this spill:
"to begin with your shifts were really soft and when i took out the VB on your tranny i noticed Friction Material in there as well as a checkball being stuck. This means that you might have worn out cluch packs and that will explain the soft shifting. I put the shift kit in and it did firm up your shifts a little but not to its full potential. I recommend a rebuild of your tranny and while we do the rebuild instead of stock stuff going back in we can put in better stuff to handel more HP and really give you a race tranny"
Thats the jits of it, so i went back to the office and talk to charles on prices and i am looking at around 1800 to 2100 buck for the rebuild depending on the parts i get, if i get stock stuff or performance. This is at an AAMCO, and i guess after the rebuild i get a warranty. What do you guys think i should do?? Should i get the rebuild with kick ass parts and a high stall converter or say screw it run it till it dies and buy a new performance tranny.... I did just spend all together parts and everything 300 bucks so i really dont want to throw that away but what are some options... thoughts on this .
