So... tax return came... and guess what that meant! Yup, my K5 was about to get a trans rebuild so I can put it back on the road!
Theres a lot of un-necessary details I will leave out, so Ill just cut to the beef.
Upon my first visit, before deciding with them... I check out the shop. The floor and work benches are neat, orderly and clean! The technicians (both of them!) were very smart and neat in appearance. A local 4X4 club suggested them, and Im damn glad they did!
All in all, it cost me about $1,600... but I ended up with a new case (PO tried a rebuild and screwed up the case, the valve body, sun gear, list goes on...) and all new internal parts.
Its been about 6 months since they did the rebuild, so I am now comfortable with a review.
The trans shifts like a monster, 1-2 is a hard hitter... 2-3 is pretty smooth with minimal overlap, 3-4 is like cotton. TV cable must be adjusted perfectly, pressures and shift points appear to be dead balls on!
No overheating, and NO LEAKING WHAT SO EVER!
I cannot recommend these guys enough. Great service at a reasonable price... I do NOT mind paying more for quality!!
Hope that helps someone...
