Default automatic replaced with 6 speed

Just got back from Indiana, had the guys at RPM Transmissions replace the automatic in my 04 with a rebuilt 6 speed and new 4:10 gears. What a difference! I can't say enough about what a class act Rod and his crew are. Incredible attention to detail and professionalism at every level, if your contemplating a swap these are the guys to do it. You'll be able to see pictures and the step by step process in an up coming article in Corvette Enthusiast.

Glad you're happy with it, and you made it back in one piece.
Thanks for the kind words.

Default Cost

I have the means to do the work myself, wondering the cost for the kit without install.
