I thought his was done out in the midwest somewhere by the guy who was recently banned.

No, you're talking about Terry.. PA3LSVT had it done by the guy who put in his 3L and all. Although if you've got some time to spare and feel like a little road trip, I'd still go to Terry to ensure that it gets done right.

Dave's Transmission will get it right as well. They are actually a transmission-specialty shop that my Quaife install was farmed out to by my engine guy. My job was done in August 2001; they may or may not actually remember it. I doubt they get much Contour performance work there, so it might stick out in their minds.
My Quaife had to be machined - your results may vary, depending on which carrier bearings were used from the factory. No way to know for sure until it's out. I only mention it in case they are under the (mistaken) impression that this is necessary for ALL installs. The good news is that the shop owner's father runs a machine shop.
Personally, if I ever have to have any trans work done (on the 3L or on the wife's ATX beater) I am going right back to them. I was thoroughly impressed with how they handled a difficult job having never installed a Quaife in a Contour before.

Yeah. You may have gotten completely screwed over by him, but there are TONS of people who have had work done by him that are 100% satisfied. While I'm sure other tranny places are fine as well, who knows this car better than Terry?

PA3LSVT - thanks for the info, I will be calling them.  Cartman - Not a chance I'm going on that road trip! Though Terry did email me when I posted this so he is still trolling around. Why was he banned? I haven't been on the boards much and didn't even know.
