Re: Advice on new trans

Found a shop that seems ok about 70 miles north. They recommended a full rebuild of the 700r4 with a Transgo kit added to eliminate the dash od switch. Will cost $1400 i haven't got and may look for a sponsor from VFW or Vietnam Veterans.

Anyone had any experience with the Transgo kit?
