Getting ready to bring the car over finaly. I have a procharger and moser 12 bolt but the weakest link now is the tranny. I was wondering if the tranny was to go out is there a place that I could take it to? Anybody done this before? I could also do it myself but I am not sure on how much it would cost to ship the tranny from the states. Thanks

There are GM dealers, but they charge a fortune! I don't know how mechanically inclined you are, but most of the guys like to do their own stuff these days! Too many times getting screwed.

I meant 4L60E.

Yeah I figure I can do it myself but I just wonder how much it would be to ship a tranny over here? I am stationed in Belgium at the moment.

If you are able to go threw bax global it shouldn't be more than a few 100 bucks.

Geiger in/near Munchen charged a friend 5,000 Eur to rebuild the one in his Suburban. :shock: It was a mostly stock rebuild at that. :shock:

Here are some pics of the car.

There are a couple of things different now though. Intake is gone for one because the charger took over all that. I also have halo lights on there now.

I am just thining about getting my tranny built before shipping just to so I dont have to worry about it. I would rather just go until my tranny is completely gone before having to replace it.

I read good things about this shop. Their rebuild prices start at 450 Euro.

LOL Those pictures were taken last summer. The wife does not look like that right now because she is 7 month pregnant at the moment. This is our 2nd child. :)
