I blew my transmission what feels for ever ago, I couldn't find one for the longest time. If I did it was as much as the car was worth. I finally found the best deal at performanceautowerks.com! They start out at $1750 and offer performance upgrades even a 6 speed. I can't wait for my transmission to come in... I miss my Balt so much! Just thought I'd let you guys know of the good deal.

 

i would still stick with the best, powell transmissions

 

x2 for Powell, love my 4.45 trans.

 

Pwerks will treat you right,but Powell does good also. Surprised you got one for $1700 from pwerks without a good core. Was your trans salvageable as a core?

 

Core hasn't been evaluated yet.
It's $1750 with a proper core, but I've been told I should get atleast half back on my core.

How's the 4.45? I got 4.05 and was wondering about how shift points would change on a 4.45.

 

Shift points are great, pulls a lot of RPM on the highway, but that's fine. Thing I liked the most about the change is the increased RPM at my usual cruising speeds, which also increased my fuel mileage. Thing also pulls like a **** when you step on it. Definitely worth the time and money to source the gears and have them installed.

 

I've always been a fan of upping the final drive ratio - what other mod will get you almost 10% more power down to the wheels across the entire powerband, without affecting anything else?
