Option 4.

Could Andy source a Tranny cheaper and send it with Chris' MoPar lump in a month or so ?

Shipping would certainly be cheap and you could dodge some tax & Duty . . .

Sorry I'm in a strange mood

That's a pretty good price from Ray as it will probably be your cheapest option (compared to buying one from the States or getting your rebuilt). On t'other hand, it's a buyers market over here if you're trying to shift one as they're not exactly in demand...

The sad fact is, a 4 speed auto box in need of a rebuild is going to cost £900 - £1,200 (fitted). Hence why mine has remained sick (but working well enough to kepe using the car) the last 2 years.

I still can't decide whether to get it fixed at GM Autos or imort a built box from http://www.pro-built.net mainly because I can't decide what direction I want to go with the car in the future...

RAY,

Is the trans you have a 4L60e, or did they fit a different one with the LS1???

HardRockCamaro · « **Reply #59 on:** July 15, 2006, 01:01:01 pm »

It'll be a 4L60e

yup, thats pretty much the bottom line..

if you went with an unknown used box, whats to say it wouldn't suffer the same problem the day after fitting?

budget £1000 minimum for a decent, dependable box, wherever it comes from.

Ok matey, spoke to my mate this morning based on 4 hours it would be £120+40 for recovery +VAT if you can get the fitting times from the autodata book he charges £30+vat per hour

AllData says 4.7hours to replace without transfer of parts.

By my calcs, that's £141 +VAT

Graeme,

How soon would he be able to do the work assuming I deliver a car and box to his garage...?

Titsy · « **Reply #67 on:** July 17, 2006, 09:33:25 pm »

Plus, What's he likely to charge for consumables, or am I best off delivering them too???
