Transmission A4 rebuild Hello All,
I have a 2001 Firebird with an automatic transmission. I recently lost 3/4 gears and want to have it rebuilt. It is like the trans goes in neutral.
That brings up my questions........
1. Who is best in Chicagoland area? I live in Lombard so proximity is important.
2. What is a parts list for 500Hp? I am not looking to have a race trans, just a decent one that will hold up for a bit.
3. Do most Trans Shops also handle rear ends? I need a pinion seal replaced.
Please help!

I would highly recommend Finish Line Trans (FLT) in Wood Dale.

Finish Line in Wood Dale HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!
I brought my 4L60e out of my 97 RS convertible 6cyl and they actually modified their stage 1 package for mine because it was going into a 6 cylinder and i could never reach the power level of their stage 1.....who does that? Kudos to those guys!
Those dudes are honest and give an excellent product.
I saw crates of finished tranny's going to Saudi Arabia and Germany when I was in there. Those guys are global

Rpm transmissions is in Indiana but they do a great job on everything I have seen. Take a look at them as well and see what fits your needs best.

RPM are heavy hitters too. Two reasons I thought of FLT and not RPM for our OP
1. he mentioned only 500hp...that isn't a lot of power so to go for the Bugatti of transmissions..not needed. FLT is a bit more economical
2. close to him (Lombard) Wood Dale is a stone throw from Lombard compared to south Indiana
you can't go wrong with either one. It would be a win/win. OP you have some EXCELLENT choices!
