I've got my car in my local dealership they had torn apart my org. tranny and gave my extended warranty company a bill of $3900 (plus about 2300 for other stuff, total of about $6200) to rebuild my tranny .. they obviously realized that was crazy and said they'd rather replace it for less.

They said they were going to spend $2600 on an OEM remanned unit so i talked to some people and found out if i could get them to get the transmission from a different person assuming it was less.

Well after a few phone calls I managed to get them to ok a tranny from rodney. It came out to be $2400 shipped so they didnt mind doing it.

and i figrued while i was at it why not go ahead and improve on the gm design .. opted for the micropolishing so it will shift very smooth.

so i figure this will now put the car in a good position when i go ahead and upgrade my rear diff .. then after that once my torque tube bearing is upgraded along with my clutch (will probably go 06 z06) then it'll be time for a nice H/C package.

for now it's only going to be a headers car .. but everything in due time ..
