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

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.

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.
