Default Auto trans guys,please step inside.

I am about to begin some transmission overhauls and need info on a good trans parts supplier. Transstar was my first choice but they do not want to deal with a small guy. Quality parts and "fair " price is the goal. Any recommendations are appreciated....Thanks, Pete

I bought my parts from Transtar here in Sacramento with no problem. Do a yahoo yellowpages search and give them a call. Sorry I don't have the number.

Thanks for the links guys. Any others, please feel free to post em. I may try another transstar dealer. The office on Long Island gave me the cold shoulder. Philly and Edison NJ are also `1 day away(ups), maybe they will want my money.

I would talk to either Dana at www.pro-built.net

or Carl at www.rosslertrans.com

Both of these guys are super to work with and know more about trannies than god himself. Moreover they are into racing, so when they recommend something, it works.

Thanks again for the links. I don't expect anyone to let there secrets out but i will ask them anyway! I expect to build them, break them, and find the weak link and upgrade it. Luckily for me the guy who is showing me the ropes has a fondness for 700-r4's and claims they can be built plenty strong for minimal money. We'll see! Pete
