hey guys, went to go take out the 73 for a spin now that i've got tags for it again.

found a giant puddle of tranny fluid under the car, and had it taken in. tranny's about done.

i'm looking for some recommendations for a good shop to take it to, or if there's any one of you out there who have the tools and want to make some quick cash rebuilding the tranny for me.

any help is appreciated, i wanna get my other baby back on the road!

Where are you? everywhere is a big area to look for a good shop

hah, forgot to change that part of my avitar...

the cars in LA, and i'm in santa ana; best i've found for a rebuild is 675 at the same place that did my carb for the car. they're located in midway city.

it's my backup in case i dont find anything better.

Find out why it's leaking pan,dip stick,etc. then check your fluid don't drive it
you can burn the tranny maybe it could be your gasket on your pan That's normal on
the older camaros Good luck

my full-race th350 cost me $695. It has a manual valve body and internals that can handle 700hp. A good rebuild shouldn't cost you over 600 unless the shop is pulling the tranny themselves and re-installing it.
