Good News / Bad News


David West calls customers with status on their transmission restoration. Sometimes it’s a Bad News/Good News call.

Start to Finish: Restoring a Muncie Transmission

I’ve got three videos on YouTube, detailing the steps I take to restore a Muncie Transmission. Here’s a California Tranny from a Corvette that came in to the shop and went through diagnostics, machining, restoration, assembly and shipping. Gives you a good idea of that I’m doing while your transmission is visiting Davids4Speeds.

Those Copy Cats!

Just found out that GM has copied my idea, and offers Corvette Buyers the option to build their own engine with the help of GM technicians. The option price is $5800, and I’ll bet it doesn’t include dinner and drinks afterwards.

Joining me at my shop and assembling your tranny, won’t cost you nearly as much. And Wisconsin’s prettier to visit.
