I shopped my ZF around to some local speed shops/transmission specialists and compared pricing. Bill's $$ was comparable, except for the shipping was extra. I opted to let Bill B do mine - paying for some "tricks" and peace of mind having an expert doing the work brings.P.

Bills a good guy and his price is fair. You get what you pay for. I have all the records on my Z from the previous owners. In my 91s history it went through 4 transmissions that were replaced under warrenty. The previous owner went to Bill and had this transmission installed 6 years ago. Its still going strong. It was B&B and Cyro gear treated. I think Bill has picked up some knowledge along the way. Again you get what you pay for. GC
