no local shop wants to do this install. i found one place, but they wanna charge me like $200. im kind of nervous dropping the valve body, as i have never done that before. i live in bergen county, new jersey. anyone somewhat around me know a place where i can go? or better yet, wanna do it for me in the holiday spirit? ill pay for your trouble! let me know. thanks guys.

 

I never did anything like it myself when I did mine but I read the directions thoroughly several times and went to town. It was pretty easy. If you have the proper tools, I would give it a try.

 

We do the line mod, trans pan and filter, fluids and install for under $250 after tax.

Bring it by here we will do it for an hrs labor $89 and if you dont have the fluid its 7 qts at almost $3 a qt so you figure just around $115.

We're bout' an hour from Bergen

 

Dropping the valve body is not much harder than dropping the pan. You can buy the valve online, directly from Sonnax and replace 6.5qts of Mercon from Ford for under $50 TOTAL !! Once the valve body is out, it takes about 1 minute to remove the clip and exchange the valve. The valve instructions are online at Sonnax and come with the valve as well. The pan and valve body removal instructions are well documented here.

 

that's the thing. i dont have the necessary tools. jim - can you fit me in tomorrow?

 

Talk to you soon Vinny

 

i would rather get it done tomorrow, so if anyone else knows what they are doing, are local, and wants to make some easy money let me know

 

We are in Hammonton and do it for $100 including the fluid. Give me a call @ 609-567-5774.

 

your just a little too far from me... about 2.5 hours... im willing to drive up to about 1.5 hours

 

JDM did mine.

 

I did it myself.

Very easy to do.

Did you get it done yet?

 

yeah i got it installed and had an entire transmission service for $160
