Default Good T56 shop in Seattle area?

Hey, new to the forums (post-wise at least). I'm looking for a shop to rebuild my transmission. I'm located in Bellingham (2 hours north of Seattle) and I'd prefer to keep it within a few hours of home.

So, any good shops in the Seattle-ish area that you'd trust to rebuild a T56? Hoping somebody on here has had a good experience somewhere...

Oh, and it pops out of reverse and grinds 1st to 2nd when shifted over ~4000, if it matters at all.

Thanks

Alex

Check with Mikey 97Z M6 on here. He is a bit further away (Vancouver, WA) but he would probably be able to help you.

Yeah, if you want to bring it down here (or ship it) to Vancouver I'd be able to handle anything you'd like to do with the trans. Anything from a Viper mainshaft upgrade to a stock rebuild.

I don't have a website yet, but I will soon enough. I currently have a T56 on the bench that I'm finishing up and it will be for sale sometime early this week. I'll be happy to answer any questions via PM, email (bowtie97@comcast.net) or you can call me directly if you prefer (PM me for number).

Jeremy, just pm or email me for pricing/options if you're interested in having some work done. Like I mentioned above, I'll have a very well built T56 available to purchase next week (New: billet keys, carbon fiber blocker rings, steel 3-4 shift fork, bronze pads, new synchros etc..).

Man, I wish I could get a t56 in my camaro easily I'm stuck with this retarded T5, it is a g-force built trans, but I'm going to be making the max torque it's rated for, really close at least. From there things get too track happy for me, I'd rather move to an auto with a manual valve body than have straight cut gears. The v6 f-bodies came with 4l60e's luckily, so I can do something there. Once I break this trans (not if, when), then I'm kinda at a dead end. There's a reason no v6 f-bodies with a manual have been in the 11's like I'm shooting to do.
