I got my **** built at All Automatic. They are pretty cool and did a good job. They completely rebuilt the 4l80e and put in a shift kit for $1100. Good price for me.

I keep hearing an advertisement on Krab radio for Brandon's Transmission ( http://www.brandonstransmission.com/Home_Page.php ). Never heard of them so idk how good they are but i thought id throw another option out there.
