shop class
what does everyone think of having a shop class rebuild a 700r4 to high performance specs. mine needs to get one and i was thinking on collaborating with probuilt on the rebuild kit and then the transgo manual/auto shift kit. can i trust a shop class to build it right?
thats a question you have to ask yourself. were not the ones that will be stuck with the tranny!!...first thing id do is to see what kind of cirtification the teacher has, and then look into some of the class projects that they have done. if you are acutialy IN the class working on it yourself.......that be a differant story.

hey man i see u r in waukegan. my grandma lives there and i used to live in windy harbor. i am goin back this summer. sweet maybe we can hook up. but yeah i want the tranny to hold up and shift pretty hard . i can get a good deal on it since my dad works with a guy who is best friends with him. sounds good to me but can i trust them to put it together correctly?
yeah email me when you come up and well go hate on some rice!! fattie92@yahoo.com
umm like i siad,, look into the teacher. if he is cetified to do the work and teach it,, then you should be fine. but id make sure id ifnd that stuff out.. and look into his class projects too

hey thanx dude, we sure can do that lord knows there is plenty of them in the waukegan/north chicago area, not to mention round lake! will do that on looking into the past projects. anyone else with opinions on what they would do in my situation?
I'm always leery with auto transmissions cause there is so much stuff you can screw up with. I wouldnt trust an auto shop class to rebuild your tranny. Hell I wouldnt trust my auto shop to rebuild mine....
