Default Gear fix in Central Illinois?

Anyone know any GOOD shops in central IL that would be willing to fix another shops mistake? I got 3.42's and a rebuild kit installed a few months ago but the rear howls like crazy and the cover is also leaking fluid. Id go back to them but it was absolutely ridiculous having to deal with them, I never want to go back there again. I was happy to just to have my car back in one piece.

Mid State Transmission did my gear swap in Normal and i cant hear a thing. They did good work for me and Ive never heard a bad thing about them. They are a little pricey but they are worth it if you want it done right.

I agree...I've heard nothing but good things about Midstate. I had a former employee from there install my gears and he did a great job.

Think they would just mess with the backlash so it doesnt whine anymore and mess with the cover so it doesnt leak anymore?
