Sounds like you found the Diamond in the Rough, Crats there Bro :cool: Yeah don't worry too much on the shift kit, if anything, I would have Bryan H.(His Email [email protected] ) over at www.pcmforless.com . Bryan can program a Spare Engine PCM(Keep your Original for a Quick swap back to Stock Programming just incase), and he can power tune it to get the best out of your Trans Rebuild or any other goodie you have added to your car ;)

The downside is that you have an inital program fee of $275+$15 or so USD., but only $50USD for any future tuning.

If you don't want to go through Bryan, I would suggest you as about the other Tuners(Ed Wright and Such), but what ever you do, Stay Away from Hyper-Chrap or Stupid Sh!ts Porwer Programmers Ohterwise you will quickly screw-up your trans-rebuild with the worthless programming...

300 bux for a shift kit, and 2 hours labor? thats an easy 150 bux more on labor... 450 bux for a shift kit?? in US $$? thats just stupid $$$...

you can get a trans go for under 100 bux...

I HATE to say it... But just do like I said... CPT baby...


Ok, I LOVE to say it. Get your car outta there NOW. You can do a trans swap if you have a decent set of sockets and wrenches, a floor jack, 4 jack stands, and a buddy who will help you in atime of need.

some 2x4's, and a jack, and you have your very own trans jack.


And here in MI, your total bill may not be any higher than the written estimate, without customer aproval.

Get your damn car back!!

Cool Congrats on getting it back for your price :cool: Now park your car on level ground and pull the trans dipstick to check the level! It should be right in the middle(give or take) of the hatch marks warm. My Local AAMCO's were notorious for over/under filling the trans to cause them to burn up :mad: . Hell it was also common to find black fluid, and shavings dumped in a Trans that was cleaned and checked before them performing one of their "Free Inspections".
