tranny shops

So I am dropping my car at AAMCO monday morning for a free diagnostic of my tranny. as a couple of you know... my clutch takes all my effort to push on it and my gears grind. I figured.. hey its a FREE diagnostic. He said he would inspect everything... let me know whats wrong.. and give me an estimate.

has anyone gotten work done by aamco before?

nope done all my trans work myself or Hanlon Performance in PA but if its free go for it. just dont get ripped off!!!!!!!!!!! most T5's or all of them do the same thing so let us know what they find

the problem is not with your tranny , hence what they may inspect won't uncover anything, and the " free diagnostic" will just be a 10-15 min visual inspection, they won't spend hours troubleshooting the prob then tell you only to have the work declined if they did infact find the issue but then again who knows maybe they will spend alot of time on it for free .....you need to have someone who is familiar with your type of car look at it, the problem is in your cable/quadrant set up as long as the pressure plate for the clutch is fine, I can gaurantee you that is where the prob lies, been through this issue many times on my own ride as well as customers rides.....

yeah we will see what they say tomorrow

Don't let them do any work before you let us know what they say. I'm sure "someone" here will be able to do what is needed correctly w/o emptying your pockets.

Dont let them sweet talk you

i wont. im apparently really good at getting my way. when i was in virginia.. my gas line broke and had to have AAA tow me to a shop to get a line fixed... i knew what happened and why so i told the shop exactly what i wanted done.... yet they didnt do it and did something else.... i complained and called AAA and talked to the shop manager... 2 days later.. full refund and prblem fixed:)

im heading to the shop now

I need a new clutch...

i was thinking about getting CJ's king cobra style clutch. its only $154 and it comes with everything. With the set up i plan on having in the near future (full exhaust, gears, U/L intake, MAF, etc) I dont plan to output more than 350 until i am out of college.

Now once i get this shipped to me, is there anyone you guys would recommend to install this? or is it something we can do ourselves?

feel free to call/text me 443 752 2960 with any opinions advice or shop knowledge

Ford Motorsport King Cobra is a great clutch for a stock with mild bolt ons.

Check w/ MJR46. I'm sure he would do it for a very fair price.

why do you need a new clutch??? is it slipping?? only way you'd have a stiff pedal is if the pressure plate were bad and or the throw out bearing is binding on the retainer, I'd ask them how did they arrive at that diagnosis, given all the prob you've had with the quadrant/cable/ FIREWALL , I wouldn't be so sure just yet of the diagnosis

P.S , I have a centerforce clutch and a KC clutch both are used and out of my own rides and are in very usable shape and worked fine upon removal, KC clutch 75.00 and the centerforce 100-120 ish if this in fact the prob I can work you a good deal at install...just PM for interest

I will give them a call in the morning. Could you PM me an install price though? if you can do it.

That's just wrong. You considering getting something done. After all, you did post the site. How in the hell would you even come across that? Something we should know Bronson?
