Louie’s is great, the guys are real nice and there is only a few people working these, not like some big places where they have a few people working on your car at once. ---

I sent them an email on lunch today, still waiting on a reply. I’ll be giving them a call tomorrow morning, I see they are ASE and I need to get it in hopefully tomorrow, if not ASAP. ---

> [@Hybridevo"](#): > > I see others ask for good transmission shops and I can think of a bunch locally but I need one that’s ASE certified so my warranty covers. My trans is leaking from the main gasket and that will be covered so while they’re at it, I’ll have a new double clutch put in. I don’t trust ANYONE with my car which is why I’m putting this up here. If you have a shop you recommend for me that really cares about the work they do and will take the time to do a good job, let me know. I wish I could do it myself and get paid for the 10 hours labor but it doesn’t work that way unfortunately. > > I’m the type that will thoroughly inspect the car when I get it back and I’ll take pictures before and after just in case. The few times I have taken this car to random shops, something always happens no matter what. Either someone gets careless and hacks my car up in some way or they forget the lift arms are still under it and my bumper gets ripped off (that was a fun day) I can’t have down time I need this done right and as soon as possible. I’m hoping to run a solo in 12 days, if I had more time to look I wouldn’t be posting this. LMK thanks! If you want someone that cares about your car working on it, do it yourself. Otherwise, you are another just another appointment in the book. > [@GV1390](#): > > You don’t trust anyone with your Ferrari? This. ---

Route 66. They’re pretty good. One nice thing is any part that has to be covered can be replaced with aftermarket as long as it doesn’t cost more than the original OEM part. ---

A good shop will let you think that. Kinda like getting a reach around. You’re still getting fucked but at least you feel like they care. ---

R u buying the clutch or the warranty company? Route 66 I believe pays 78 on the hour and 20% above dealer cost on parts. ---

No they aren’t paying for the clutch I am. I’m going to talk to Russ tomorrow, hopefully he can get this done right away. ---

They are good clutches, the first ones they came out with for the evo were on the shitty side but since then they’ve upgraded and redesigned. They are inexpensive and I’ve been told only good things about the newest clutches they offer. I might actually go for an HD street, I found a reputable vendor on EvoM that will ship it to me for $375. Check this out [http://forums.evolutionm.net/vendor-service-parts-tuning-review/582992-competiton-hd-street-disc-clutch-alt-hdss.html](http://forums.evolutionm.net/vendor-service-parts-tuning-review/582992-competiton-hd-street-disc-clutch-alt-hdss.html) I haven’t heard of anyone doing this yet but I want to have ports welded onto my trans for temp/pressure gauges too. ---

There’s probably a reason nobody welds ports onto the transmission…the Evo platform is heavily R&D’d by multiple companies and businesses, there is most likely not a need for trans temp/pressure. I’m curious to see how this competition clutch works out for you. I’ve been looking at a bunch of twins/triples and haven’t decided what I want yet and they have an offering for the X. ---

We’ll see, I think it has to be split and it takes no room for the tip of a sensor I don’t see why it can’t be done. And I’m pretty confident in the clutch, finally I can get an E85 tune 🙂 ---

> [@05OrangeSS](#): > > I’ve been looking at a bunch of twins/triples and haven’t decided what I want yet and they have an offering for the X. I have an Exedy twin on mine. It can be a bit grabby for street use and it rattles when the pedal’s in, but it’s stout and no slippage. ---
