Any good transmission shops in SoCal? I need to have my vette servo, 9C1 upshift valve and PML cover installed.

True
I think I misread the original post I thought you were looking for a good place to build a tranny. Although I don't really mess with the internals of a 700R4, I have removed and installed a few.

Agreed. If you were rebuilding the entire tranny, that's a reasonable price but just to install a valve and servo? Crazy...

Art Carr in Huntington Beach
He is nationwide known for his racing trannies. I had mine done there for $3400, but it spared no expense. I think just the tranny rebuild was $2000, the converter was $900, and the tranny cooler was $200. R/R was $300.

Forward clutch drum.
Our intermediate shaft snaps at the drum, due to the massive torque of the 3.8
This is an upgraded one - just another $550
By your statement I thought that was included in the $2k rebuild = hell of a deal.
