Folks-
After 353,000 trouble-free miles, the transmission in my '85 P-type is in need of a rebuild/replacement. Having NO experience in this area, I'm looking for recommendations as to a business that can do this work reliably. I have talked to AllState Gear in San Antonio and the guy there says they could do it for about $800 plus $125 shipping charge to and from. That sounds a bit 'cheap' to me, but I don't really know what the going rate for this work is. Also, I'd be open to hearing of others experiences with tranny rebuilds, what company they used to do it, and what results they got. The local Toyota dealer has the vehicle right now, but they are having a hard time finding parts to do the rebuild.
Thanks in advance for any info you folks can provide.
