need immediate tranny help

[Hellz]

btw.. i feel more comfortable asking from this community that anywhere else..


if anyone is near Sidney, NE and wants to drive to Reno, let me know.
would rather have someone who has experience with an H2 than someone who has only ever driven a small car.

or if your in Reno and willing to return this rental car to Sidney...

if someone is willing, PM me. im sure we can work something out so you can make some extra $$$

Before you order up a regular rebuilt tranny consider some options:

You may also want to switch out to the Corvette Servo while it's all apart

the problem is i am not too familiar with transmissions... so other than the model of tranny i have, im not too sure what to really order or what not.

i do know i do not what a stock 4L65E put back in.
it has to be upgraded/beefed up to last another 5 years or so.

i was planning on getting the stage 2 tranny from the company the shop uses, they call it the Ripper 2000
http://www.certifiedtransmission.com/roadripper2000.asp

also my max budget for all work is $3500. but that has to include everything...
also, im sure my wife would like that to be alot less too...

i would love to be able to drop in a 6 speed tranny and not have to worry about any programing, or crazy wiring or anything, as im sure this shop would rape me in costs. as they have never done a conversion like that, im sure there would be some corners cut, or makeshift wiring or something that would bite me in the ass when i really need it to work right.

so feel free to offer any advice

So estimate came in today

Went with the roadripper 2000

Total cost is $4100

That includes freight, installation/labor, taxes and some additional things I'm having them fix while they are at it.

Not happy with the cost, nor knowing if I'm getting a good product. Just don't want to get something that will fail on me while I'm away from home, nor within the next few years. The warranty is solid though.. 3 year / 50k miles and I can take to any shop for repairs. So that's a good thing.

I guess I'm worried that my H2 failed on me at a critical time, I don't know if something else will give out before I get home.
