Orr:
Know right where it is…I’ll find the number…thanks
Pewter, Quick:
Holy s%$t! I’m sold! Hope I can afford Hodge’s work. I’ll post up after I call tomorrow.
77:
Between the weak stock tranny, and the optispark nightmares I hear, I question my sanity in buying this car. But it’s a hell of a lot of fun!
make sure u tell him BNrian from JJ’s said to call=better deal!
Pewter, Quik:
Spoke with Bobby at Hodge’s. IMHO, and as you said, he does offer a good price for what he will be doing. I am 99% sure I will be taking the car to him. Pewter, I am sending you a PM.
Thanks!
I bought a ford, and an old ford truck none the less. Only the engine in my truck has been out of production for 30 years. I know your pain. 
youll be happy with the trans!!
I have been there. I restored a 75 Trans Am back in 2001. Between trying to find front end parts that were only used on 74-75’s, and pontiac engine parts, I had a lot of fun!
Ok Pewter and Quik:
TA goes into Hodge’s next Wednesday (July 5th).
Can’t wait to get it done, and drive it again!
Thanks again for the recommendation.
Will post up again once I get it back…
glad youre worked a deal
good!
Holy shit! Dropped car off on July 4th, and got a call today at 2pm to tell me “it’s ready”! Can’t wait to drive it…
Weather permitting, I will be at PRP next Wednesday, and see what improvements are to be gotten from the rebuilt transmission.
Look for the maroon LT1 TA with polished WS6 wheels…and try not to laugh too hard at my slow ass times!
Thanks again to Pewter and Quik for the recommendation.
:boink stop & see me.im right off 119
i’ll be stop’n by and seing u today:love:
congrats
Pewter,
Thanks for the invite. But a buddy from Belle Vernon rode me down, so I went home 201 to 51. I’m out that way often, so i’ll check in sometime.
Thanks again for the hookup. Bobby seems to be a great guy, and does a hell of a tranny build for trhe price.
Second gear shifts when the trans is in “performance mode” are fun! WOOOT!
Edit: Quik, Bobby was telling me about your experience with 5 pin planetaries! One whole day with a tranny? That hurts!
yep it was in for 70 miles before the 1-2 shift killed it
