You can talk to any of the Transmission Tuners on the list, or call one of your local shops for advice, I'm sure they can help with any kinds of questions.

Have you used any local performance shops? Any of them should have a local tranny shop they use.

If you're gonna crate it up and ship it across the country, then you might as well go with RKT (http://rktperformance.com/transmissi...c5-corvette-2/). He's cheaper than RPM, and has many happy customers, as far as I can tell.

thanks for the info but I'm not looking to take my tranny out, I want to take it to a shop where I can drop it off and pick it up when its ready, has anybody dealt with a certain shop around this area or know of someone who has worked with a shop.
