Default Looking for a shop to install a torque converter.

I’m looking for a shop to install a torque converter in a C5 Corvette. I've already called Virginia Speed and was quoted $800 for labor.

If you or someone you know can do it, please shoot me a PM with details.

Thanks,
Tommy

I can do it, but its going to be close to that. You do realize you have to drop the entire rear end (axles, trans, brakes, etc), then the torque tube, then the bell housing? Its a several day DIY job.

Not entirely true. You just have to tilt the torque tube.

Working on the floor under jack stands would be a PITA, but I might end up doing it myself.
