Default TC Swap shop in Phoenix?

I need a torque converter swap performed in the east valley area of phoenix. Any recommendations? Also, what should I be looking to pay for this? This is labor only, I already have the new TC.

Thanks!

Contact Top Gear Motorsports in Mesa http://www.topgearms.com/index2.html or Gearhead Garage in Gilbert http://www.performanceandspeed.com/about.html or AZ Automasters in Chandler http://www.azautomasters.com/ All can swap out a TC for you. Like N20GTO sez it should be $250-300 for the labor.

book calls for 4.5hrs to r and r trans, plus .5 for converter change. should consider getting a converter seal replaced while your in there.

average shop is 65-85 a hour labor, easily $300 + for labor.

I was giving him a choice. Sean @ Top Gear specializes in building trannies. I'd give him a call 1st.

yes drunk...

this was after i was challenged by some goofy kids up here to races...

1 was a 93 Talon Tsi with like an intake and not much else...

The other is a 77 dodge pickup with a 440 6 pack, but i haven't seen it...

Both races are for titles, or basically cash on my part...

I figure the most i'll lose is about 30$...

The nitrous is ready to go in pretty much...It shouldn't take too long, but I just have to plan it so that my grandparents are gone to the doctor or whatever...The converter will have to be done elsewhere because I don't have the necessary equipment, and I don't want them to walk out and see me with the tranny out of the car...

I just was on a mission with my grinder earlier where I took off about 3/8" of the fender lip to stop the rubbing...Takes off like a SOB now...

But anyway...i'll give you a call tomorrow night, i have to take Steph back to the airport at 12:30 tomorrow night and yeah...we'll be around...
