re: Need some recommendations for transmission shops in Ascension

Auto or Manual? Rebuilding a Manual isn't that bad if you have the tools. Getting it out and back in is the pain and that's where a lot of the labor is, at least when I had one rebuilt a long time ago. So we towed it to a friend's house that is a mechanic and I helped him remove it. Then we had to take it to a shop for them to replace some sync rings, then we put it back in, with a new clutch, starter, and a few other things.
