Well I have been doing a lot of work on my 71 240 and getting ready to finally put her back together, but really want to have the trans gone through. I have gone through the engine (complete rebuild) rebuilt the carbs (SU type), replaced all bushings on suspension, had complete body re worked and painted, new window seals, and windshield. It's been a long two years, and now I need to go through the stock 4 speed, but am a little hesatent to tackle the job myself. I have worked as a mechanic for several years in the past, and have worked on many different types of automotive and marine engines as well as marine lower units I would like to do the job myself, but I've never worked on a trany and was thinking this might be best to leave to a specialist, question is who knows these and what qualifies them. don't want to go to Aamco and get a headache in the end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm located in Fresno, Ca. and don't want to travel too far for service, but want it done proper the first time.

Will post pics of rebuild after the car is complete.

Eric,

I don't know if Sacramento is too far for you but there's transmission shop that rebuilt my 78 5-speed back in 2005 for $484.00. I brought it in on a Thursday and they had it the following Monday. The had a 60 day/6000mile warranty.

The transmission still works flawlessly today.

They are located a few blocks away from the convention center in downtown Sacramento. Good luck.
