Default T-56 rebuild in or around Arkansas.

I live in eastern Arkansas, about 45 minutes from Memphis. I've tried several places around town that have told me they don't do manual transmissions. I had no idea it was going to be a pain to find someone to take my money. I would like to have someone that knows what they're doing. If all else fails I'll ship it to somewhere that does T-56's but I'd like to be able to get it done within driving range. Thanks!

Yea it is a pita trying to get your car worked on in the Rock.

Are you up for trying to fix it yourself? That might be the best way other than shipping it off somewhere non local.

I have a customer right outside of LR in Hazen with a great RPM Trans T56 that might have 2k miles on it. We originally sold him the trans and just did a th400 swap. Let me know if you would be interested.

There are some local guys around the Shreveport area that could do it for you. What exactly is wrong with it?
