I was told today that there is a crack in the housing. That being the case. Where do you get a transmisson? I am in Texas.

average rebuild facility.

Where in Texas? I know of a rebuilt trans for a GMC sitting in Waco
waiting on a buyer.

Bill,
Who has it? How much?
I have two. One condition unknown, the other
rebuilt 5 or 6 years ago by someone in OK.
Rebuilder unknown. I don't think it was Bill Bramlett.
Can not varify rebuild. Trying to determine prices.
$250 for core? $500.00 for rebuild. Rebuild is still
on pallet.
Charles

I run the Manny Tranny myself. If it breaks, Manny is good with being the butt of the joke. I like a builder with a sense of humor. Would run no other, unless it was cheaper, Very Happy
Just joking. There are a few of Manny's rebuilds scattered around the country to save on shipping.

Thanks for the information. Yes I do know that these trans are special. I am leaning a little slow. Come here first not later.
