Any good shop for rebuilding Eaton transmissions in CA, UT or AZ

TGI (Truck Gears Inc), Los Alamitos Ca.

 

You don't want to get it rebuilt. You want to swap it out with a re-manufactured Weller. Plenty of shops are Weller approved. Going to cost about $6,000 including labor.

 

Sorry, can't help you there. The Detroit guys I knew way back have retired and disapeared. Man.... they sure knew how to set up a 8V92 back then. Goodluck.

 

I don't think you would find one for $2,000. Maybe one out of an existing truck and not rebuilt. I just went through this with my Fuller 10 speed. You can find a rebuilt one for around $3,500 BUT.....they only replace what needs to be replaced. Weller replaces everything to brand new. On top of the transmission you need the following.

Labor. $1,000
Clutch brake
resurface
New clutch maybe
Shipping costs for transmission

And don't think about trading up to a 13 speed. It's a one for one swap. You want the 13 speed and that's going to be at least another $1,300

If your looking for an A #1 shop make your way out to Commerce City, CO to Stewart and Stevenson. The biggest shop you will ever see. Give the service manager a call and he can give you a ball park figure. Your old transmissions case can't be cracked either.

Either way you go your going to be at $5,000

 

I see a lot of guys recommend swap rather than rebuild, why is that? Is it because of the down time or rebuilds not done properly, warranty?
