Transmission replacement cst/10 HELP
 

So....I have read many of the previous posts on replacing and or rebuilding transmissions,most of them are a few years old.

I want to replace my transmission on my truck.I called a few guys locally and it seems like no one does it anymore or wants to do it.I was really hoping to get referred to a good tranny rebuilder....but that didn't happen.


I think what I want is maybe another th 350 that's more heavy duty and with a shift kit to make it more fun to drive.Maybe some of the experience on this forum can guide me to the right decision...

I did some searches online and found a few venders that sell remans and some that sell remans with a shift kit,even some that sell remans with a shift kit and a decent warranty,however, when I try to find reviews for said venders,It seems like there are't alot of happy customers out there,even with the warrantied units.

So if anyone here has positive or negative experiences with online purchases of tranny I 'd like to hear about them.I don't want to roast anyone so if you had less than a positive experience maybe you could pm me.

Now my truck has a 350 with a mild cam in it a 650 carb and has pretty good power.I regeared the rear end a few years back and went to 355.

I actually use my truck as a truck some of the time and that means hauling stuff sometimes and towing stuff sometimes.

Any guidance based on experience is welcomed

Have you looked on your local craigslist? There are a couple of transmission rebuilders in my area that post on it. They are businesses, not individuals. You might also ask at any auto parts stores that you frequent. They usually know someone local that does that kind of stuff..... Just some ideas.

I checked CL first,there was only a couple of shops with in 50 miles,when I called they sounded like not interested.

Maybe if I look at doing a conversion to a newer type maybe ....would be nice to have an overdrive.
