Keep in mind that 90% of all trans shops are ripoff artists. Most people don't know the 1st thing about taking a trans apart. With that in mind they can charge you out the ass then just put basic parts in your trans to make it work. I used to work at a trans shop and seen it happen all the time.

If you want to take it somewhere I know a guy thats excellent with TH350's but he works for Royal in Roseville on 12/Utica. His name is Dave. I don't know what kind of prices he can get you because hes just a builder, but I know his work on those transes and they hold up to hard abuse. A few examples: Scott Koresky's IROC had a TH350 in it that Dave built and it went 10's with that trans and held up for 3 seasons and was sold in good working condition. Daves brother has a mud bogger that the trans lasted thru 4 seasons of that abuse. He knows how to make them last.

Took my C4 to Masta' Performance in milford. Works out of his polebarn. He is a legit business. Did great work and charged me $350 for a new input shaft and to go thru the trans (bands,etc.)

is he listed in the phone book?? or do you by any chance still have his number??

If you're bringing in the trans the price should work out like this:

Bench labor- $150-$200
Soft parts- $75-$100
+ any hard parts that are damaged or you want upgraded.
You should still be way under $500 by the time its built the way you want it.

I'll look and see if I have his number. You might be able to get it by calling information.
