Default St Louis area shops

Im looking for a shop in the St louis area that could fix the transmission seal that commonly leaks. I know theres a laundry list of things to do in order to fix it so how much would you say it should cost and is there anything else you guys think I should do while theyre doin that?

Thanks

Look for Anthony in your area. I believe he was associated with Fastbird Performance, try a search.

Yes go to Anthony01! He did my whole cam installation and it runs perfect, he also installed my LT headers, x-pipe, ls6 intake manifold, underdrive pulley and everything else that comes along with a cam installation. He does great work and in a very timely fashion.

Anthony01 would be a great choice. You could also check with Joe at Performance by Joe and I've heard that Elco Chevy has some very competent Vette technicians.
