I’ve been having a lot of tranny issues lately and just recently it finally through a DTC. So now I know what is the problem. I need someone that can install a VSS Reluctor on my transmission. Anybody know of a good shop that can do this? I already have a new reluctor in the mail, but with my schedule right now, I really don’t have the time to do it myself. Open to any or all suggestions. ---

Opitz fucked me on a clutch job so I wouldnt trust them. It shouldnt cost $1k to do a clutch on a 2wd S10 and then a month later the clutch stopped working because the bolts all backed out from never being tight. And John, seriously recommending Charlie? WTF? Im not even gonna go there. ---

ALSO - if some putz had already _TRIED_ to do a clutch and failed, then brought the car to me, your god damn right he should be charged $1000. :haha:haha ---

They said I fucked up the flywheel so they put another one in it and then they failed to tighten the pressure plate bolts. When I called them to tell them the truck was fucked up and I had to drive it without using the clutch at all they said there was no way they left anything loose. Another mechanic friend fixed it in 5 minutes and it was fine after that. ---
