Default Converter install

I know I asked a big while ago but i can't seem to find the thread. I have a vig3200 and tranny cooler, would like to find someone to install these at a reasonable price (either shop or person). I also have a transgo kit, not sure how much involved that is to install. I don't know how to work on tranny's, never had before, and I'm sure I'd *** something up lol. any takers? I live in the north Fort Worth area by Keller and Watauga.

Give me a call. Typically we can install a Torque Converter and Cooler for $300.00 and provide same day service if we have the car early enough!

The Trans-Go kit is a whole 'nother story though. If it is installed correctly the transmission would need to be dissasembled. We can discuss that when you call though.

Not to mention we are in your backyard!

$300 is a really good deal for a converter and cooler install, I paid $250 for just for a converter install, this was back in '03 at Speed Demon here in Houston.

Thanks for the replys Well I bought the transgo kit cause I thought I remember reading that it was needed with a converter, maybe I read the thread wrong or something. 300 doesn't sound bad i was guessing a shop would do it for quite alot more.

The only reason I was saying a "person" was so I could maybe watch, and learn a few things, but I'm just waiting for the converter to arrive from thunderracing and I'll give ya a call.
