From: Gainesville, Florida # of drag strips runs: ?!?!?
Best rebuild/new options? My Formula has 3 years and 55,000 miles and counting on the stock tranny and convertor. I race the car very little maybe 20-30 total runs a year, as my other toy get the brunt of the racing 
I'm guessing the transmission will last until maybe 70-80,000 miles before needing a rebuild. I have a few bolt-ons done to the car, and don't plan on doing anything else to it except driving it and racing it every once in a while. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Gainesville/Ocala FL area or in the West Palm Beach FL area that is reputable? Or should I just buy a new transmission from someone in the aftermarket, and if so, what's your opinion on the best for the money?
Thanks!

Re: Best rebuild/new options? Rossler is the best for automatic racing tramsnissions. Period.
a 4l60E/700R4 runs either $2195 or $2695 plus core plus deep pan and fluid. The $2695 has custom clutches and is the same tranny LPE uses in their high HP cars. His shop is the most sanitary and clean tranny shop I have ever seen. I drove my car there a couple of times over the past 12 years for fresh-up's and Carl is a great guy to work with. He is not cheap, but his tranny's hold up better than any others I have seen.
When my tranny gets weaker (soon), I will get his "big" package and not have to worry abut it again.
