transmission rebuild suggestions

Post by jwhalen »

I live in the Hampton Roads area in VA and am wondering if anyone can recommend a company to do a transmission rebuild. I have a Velvet Drive on a 76 F26.

Thanks,

John

Hampton Rubber is the best I have seen and he did two for us. Great job and he does back his work. Hampton Rubber is a great place to do business.

John,
The rebuild is very straight forward. There are complete rebuild kits for @$150 and I could send you the rebuild instructions. I did mine in about 4 hours this summer. Let me know if you are interested in the repair manual.
