Going rate 727 rebuild.

Ironracer said

I had my rebuild done on the bench with shift kit I supplied, installed, all other parts included with a Kevlar front band. To get a warranty, he did want me to buy a new torque converter, but I simply had one rebuilt up the road at a shop he trusted (Tampa Racing Converter) Guy was a Chevy dude from a Chevy drag racing family. Only thing I can really ***** about he didn't change shift shaft seal, I RnR'd the 727 and took it up there. First thing he said was "Y'all ready to go Racin' " lol
$300 but was over a decade ago. WHATEVER you do, No Ammco! Long story there

Re Aamco, in 2001 I had my 1965 727 BB cable-shift transmission out and needed a quick rebuild since got a new job and relocating. Took it to an Aamco on Buford Hwy in Atlanta and the manager said he had nobody on staff who could rebuild a transmission. So what do they charge $$$$ for? Had a Cottman further down Buford Hwy rebuild it, but they didn't fix my complaint of "morning sickness". For all I know, they just washed it off and never opened it. Once settled in California, I took it to a Cottman which said they would inspect under warranty, but turned out to be scammers. The "mechanic" showed a piece of broken cork gasket he tossed in the oil pan and said in broken English "bad clutch". They put the pan back on with the old gasket so I had to replace that at home since now leaking. I would see the same ~20 cars sitting in their front parking lot for a month as I passed (hostages?), then they went out of business (complaints to the State BAR?). That's when I decided to learn how to rebuild an auto tranny myself and did my Chrysler A-413 and A-604 since.
