I had Cotham in Latham, NY do mine on my last GN. It was a good trans with a 36,000 mile warrenty.

[EDIT] Just noticed that this is a month old thread. Hope I helped and wasn't too late.

Very helpful -- I'm 6 miles from Latham? Who'd you deal with ? Price?

thanks man!!

If I remember right, I think I paid $1500 for it. It was a damned good tranny, shifted really hard, lasted my beatings.

I can't remember who did it though. That was to rebuild my transmission and put a shift kit in it. I think they used some billet parts too. I used the warrenty at another Cotham in another state and they honoured it (nothing wrong with the trans, turns out).

LOL, I wish I was 6 miles from Latham. I drove that car from Saratoga Springs to Latham in first gear on the Northway to get it in.

Guys, I hope you aren't talking about "Cottman Transmissions" who I hope by this time is out of business... You will likely lose your [BF?] valvebody and end up with a generic rebuild if you go there.

Same place. They wanted to put a generic valvebody in it, but I insisted on keeping mine. It was a great rebuild otherwise.

I'm glad it worked out for you. I personally wouldn't trust them. Had a run in with them on previous [albeit non-buick] work where they did not put the correct parts back into a heavy-duty transmission.
