IMO I think you should make the drive to LA and see Mike L., I know that is what I'll be doing when I have enough nickels saved to do my Ally. :grd: kbstinky 02-13-2005, 10:38 AM Been there, done that, at Mike L's. Go for the drive, it will be worth it. CalDirt 02-13-2005, 12:39 PM Where is "Mike L"? What is a Mike L? Anyone have contact info for a Mike L? Now I'm intrigued So I presume upgrading a tranny takes more than a day. What are you guys doing - renting a hotel room and camping out while they rework your tranny? You take a cab from the shop to the hotel room? kbstinky 02-13-2005, 12:57 PM Mike is located in Inglewood, CA. 310-674-4400. He has owned his own tranny shop for too many years, and is getting into the Allison big time. And he is a respected (???) member of this site. He is honest, trustworthy, reasonable (??), and will do the job right. If you PM or call him he can answer all the questions. Unfortunately, he will talk your leg off. Good luck.

Max Payne 02-14-2005, 10:27 AM I drove 24 hours round trip to swap my Allison for a Suncoast V from Mike L. Would I do it again? YES! Except he didn't wear a dress for me, must have been too cold that day):h bigblockquad 02-15-2005, 01:36 AM Mike L. Sent you a PM. Let me know what you think. Rich. | ||
