PaPaPooh Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 ok here is the lo down 1500-1800 if the tranny is in the car at a shop 500-1000 if you pull it and take it to a shop i can only say to get a good estiment is to call a few shops near you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Make sure they understand its a turbo car. My brother had a problem with taking his car to a trans shop after explaining to them over the phone. When it got there the price went up $600. Then after trying to start on it, they said they wouldn't work on it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkorinko Posted September 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Man they would not even work on it??? bastards! I will call around and check out prices for sure. I mean, this is a must do, I would be willing to bet I will drop .5-.8 of a second off my 1/4 when i get my tranny fixed...Its that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbeast Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 If you are going to race it go with hardened parts, it is 1000-1200 extra but you won't be doing it again soon. and yes it was done to the pink tranny!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkorinko Posted September 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 so you got a shift kit too??? I want to do that to, did it help at all??? That is a pretty good price, I would do it for 1500 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a pretty good price, I would do it for 1500 for sure. It was a stock type shift kit. I did ask if a performance type one could be installed; the mechanic said he didn't know of any for this trans. He did say that the one he used was an improvement over the stock setup however. I guess that there aren't many FWD enthusiasts around here since he gave a funny look every time I asked about a performance upgrade. He said that usually people with those kind of cars don't want to feel the transmission shift. Well, I do! Although it did shift slightly firmer than stock, I did take it back once. The mechanic "bumped up the line pressure". It was a very slight improvement. The 1-2 shift is still a little sloppy in my opinion - he said a different spring could be installed in the valve body. I haven't messed with that yet. Overall the rebuild seems to be an improvement over it's performance before it broke. The one thing I am unhappy with, though, is the torque converter.

dkorinko Posted September 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well I dont want to have any problems, and i am looking for more performance then the stock tranny. Not a lot, but maybe just a little. Hopefully the mechanic i take it to will be a little more understanding then yours, it sounds like since your car was front wheel drive he didnt really want to work with you all that much, I hate people like that.
