Tranny Shop In Houston
 

any body know of a good place where i can get a rebuild tranny or a complete swap in the Houston area?

I bet the guys at DI could give you hand, or alteast an idea of were to go.

i know of DI their shop is about 45 minutes from where i live, anywhere else? hows their rate for install

I've heard about a guy in Columbus, about the same distance, but I dont know any of his contact info, just hearsay.

i know theres all kinds of transmission shops around town, my dad knows this fella in downtown Houston who has a tranny shop, but hes scared with messing the the Allison 1000, hes never seen one go bad before. and then there people like Mr.Transmission who could do it also, but i pretty much handing them my life savings if i go to them

Yeah I know the feeling, thats why I ordered from goerends and put it in myself

i would do that myself even though i wouldn't have the faintest idea of what i was doing but after looking a a few diagrams ill muster up enough confidence to do it anyway, but i just dont have the equipment or the space to do that kinda job. so i gotta take it somewhere"give:

I talked to Joe(Suncoast) a while back and he recommended
Mace-a-matic Trans
Belton 254-939-7092
or
Michael's All Trans
Houston 713-643-6234

I heard good things about Mike's from a guy IIRC labor was $1200 on his.

i talked to some guy in marble falls, about 3 hours from here, and he said heel do it for 800

Talk to Nate or David at DI and tell them I sent you. You are not going to find a better shop, establishment, or team within 300 miles. They can set you up with the best that ATS has to offer and tune it to the way you drive and your power level.

I talked DSTRBD at DI, they said they don't do rebuilds, they just do valve bodies, T/C's and transmission swaps. I need more than a T/C cause my clutches are burnt up and i need new ones, and i don't wanna throw in 8k for a ATS Extreme. But they are a good shop, but they don't offer the services i need.:sos:

i have a stg IV on the way should be here within a few days. Ive heard from a fella on DP about this guy in marble falls, he too is a Duramax owner. and does performance upgrades. But ima give these to shops that are close to Houston. if and see if i can get a good quote on the rebuild. if not then im off to marble falls.

besides i like driving:Race:

keep us posted! :U:

yeah, let me know how the guy in Marble Falls does. I need to put a SCIII in mine and havnt had any luck finding anyone around this part of Texas really.

I talked to Nate at D.I. too, Waaay too expensive.
I thought about going to an Allison Big truck shop, I think there is one on Mesa rd. near the loop.

I have contacted a guy in Sealy, wow his prices were through the roof! So far There are 2 guys in Houston One guy an 1 hour south of DFW and This guy in marble falls seem to be my options. I guess im going to Marble falls, he said he can rebuild the tranny in one day which is good cause i gotta head back to town for some partying. He also Had the best deal by 500 Dollars than any one of the other shops i called. Ima try and get this fella to join DB when i head over there.

Yeah, thats Nate. So your not looking for a complete built tranny install? They are an ATS dealer and do complete ATS installs. You dont need the Extreme because your never going anywhere near 1000+ hp. Get the Stage I tranny for 5K and upgrade with the Co-pilot later when you can afford it.

Gone....:Race:

Sweet, let me know how it turns out. And if you dont mind shoot me a PM, or post it here, on a labor price. Im just looking at doing the SCII vs you doing the IV.

Hope everything turns out good

Im in a motel room right now across the street, i brought my lappy hoping there would be free internet....i was right:yeah: Ive heard from other people that he does good work, and labor doesn't costs much at all, a whole lot cheaper than any other place i called, if you are interested in price shoot me a pm

And just a little off topic...ive been driving my truck around since i got the stgIV installed, it is starting to shift smoothly now, but the 4-5 shift still throws ya around. drove 200+ miles with it in already mostly highway. im about to go do some city driving so it can finally learn itself.

Yep, thats all I need John. Have you gettin drunk and doing burnouts in the parking lot where everyone knows me. :ha:

I will take 75-100 shifts before the TCM smooths it out. Its not the amount of driving that programs it but the number of shifts. The best thing to do is get a Tech II and clear the TAPS then set it for fast learn. :U:

would you happen to have a tech II

Nope, but I know someone who does...:w2:

:humm:

If you talk really really nice to Russell (RTToys) he might just let ya pay the usual fee of a 30 pack of Miller High Life to reset your tranny for ya. :up:

well.... one of my friends who works at hooters is having a bday party... and i could get rtttoys to come over and get some free beer

And this pertains to your tranny shifting HOW? :ha:
