tranny rebuild?

[snaus32]

he guys I decided to have my 350 rebuilt instead of buying a new one. I'm having a local shop do it for 800.00 it's a complete overhaul with tc and shift kit. It seems kind of pricey compared to a shop I stoped at an hour away. They wanted 550 if I took out the tranny myself and brought it to them. The local guy is the best around according to everyone I asked. What do you think?

I have seen some rebuilt 350's on ebay for $675 shipped. I think that is the route I'm going. I have also be quoted $850 to have mine repaired locally. Most of the guys in Ebay have very good feedback from others that have bought their transmissions.

If you can take the trans out by yourself you can also rebuild it yourself. They are not that hard. I followed this book Amazon.com: Turbo Hydra/350 Hp511: Ron Sessions:... . They have step by step instructions with pictures. I did 2 th350 so far.

For that you can get a 700r4 from Jegs. It does seem a little pricey.

I would put a 700r4 IMOP. That is what i did last month to my 72 sub and took the 350 turbo out. I'm very happy with the 700r4 since it has overdrive and it gets better gas milage. I paid $950 at a shop for the switch and rebuild of the trans.

im having mine in a 4wd rebuilt plus new tc for 600,he is taking it out and puttin it back in, didnt think that was too bad, but as some guys said i would have really thought about the 700r trans, for the added benifit of the overdrive . ohh well too late now.if you havent agreed to the guy yet maybe you should consider the 700 .
