You probably have a local shop you like, use them. There are several
high quality transmission builders you can use. They will ship the
tranny to your shop and your old tranny can be shipped back in the
same container. RPM is a sponsor , I have a Finish Line tranny, do
alittle research and your questions will be answered.

RPM does great work. I've had one in my car for 6 years now with zero issues.
