I have a question, I had my tranny rebuilt and I was expecting a price in the neighborhood of maybe $600-$700 max, I just got the actual bill at $1600.00. I am a little concerned, is that what it cost to rebuild one of these tranmissions or is this way over.
He did say he had to replace two clutches, but I am having a challenge swallowing that price.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your commments, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting took.
That's probably less than I just payed last summer to have mine rebuilt. And now mine makes a beautiful grinding noise when I really get into it, plus it still leaks.
I had a transmission rebuilt in my 1990 Chevy Pickup truck ((guess it was a 700R4?) a few years back and it was about $1800. You are rebuilding a 49 year old 1963 and prior transmission so that is definitely not a bad price. I've heard the 1964 and later turbo hydramatics are usually a bit less but for a complete rebuild you wouuld probably still be looking at something in the range your person is asking to rebuild the older Hydramatic. You might give the guys at Fatsco a shout and see if they have any other options in terms recommended rebuilders, expected prices, etc. They are listed in our Parts Suppliers page as a very reputable transmission parts supplier.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
