When you're tired of the noise or unable to hold your transmission in gear it's time to rebuild. But before you start you have three choices to consider.

	You could rebuild the transmission yourself or have an experienced friend do it for you. That way you can be sure every part has been inspected, every obviously damaged part has been replaced, and save some money at the same time. Auto Gear and Auto Gear distributors can assure you of purchasing the highest quality replacement parts, so you can rest easy on that score, but we can't look over your shoulder -- you still might miss something important, and you'll be guaranteeing your own work.
	If you can afford it, you can take it to a competition transmission specialist -- they'll do it right, use the highest quality parts, and stand behind their work. If you're not sure how to find one contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
	Your third, and least satisfactory, option is a commercial transmission shop. They're not all bad -- far from it -- but they often survive by using the least expensive parts and replacing the fewest number possible. Substandard parts always cost less, and the part that should have been replaced but wasn't, will cost you (not them) a second rebuild sometime soon. If you must use a commercial transmission shop, ask around. We may be able to help you there, as well.
