Default Shop for gear install in Southern Ontario?

Just like the title says. Is there a shop that is reputable, that you would suggest getting gears installed at?

BTW: 4.10's in a 10-Bolt w/ 3.42's previously.

Thanks

The Trany shop in Georgetown. They have done 2 gear swaps for me in the past and I was happy on both occasions. No whine, shimmed perfectly

Where in Southern Ontario?

That will cover from Niagara Falls to Windsor.

We use a guy in Windsor that is good and reasonably priced.

Thanks for the replies. I am near Toronto, so Georgetown might be my best bet. The 3.42's are fine (24,000 kms), just bought a set of 4.10's to go with a heads/cam package. If you want them, that's fine with me, just make an offer. I won't be doing that until mid-May (car in storage until then) however. Let me know.

Any other suggestions on shops??

Thanks
Andrew

BTW: Is the Georgetown shop good with misc. parts? Meaning, I just have the ring and pinion. Can/will they source remainging parts if needed??

Yes, they can source the parts, ie shims, fluid etc. Ask for Dave Tucker - Owner. He is a major gear head, owns a 2002 firehawk vert, 2 crazy old Chryslers, one with over 1000 hp.

That's perfect, thanks for the help. While we're on the subject of reputable shops, could anyone suggest a shop for bleeding the clutch PROPERLY? I've had it done at the dealer, Mr. Transmission and a local car shop and all three times there was air left in the line. Would this be because they didn't reverse bleed it? Any help on this PITA would also be appreciated.

Thanks
Andrew
