Has anybody used the Metric Mechanic for either engine or transmission work? I did a search and only came up with a couple of threads, the latest was in 2011 I think.
I'm considering going for the super-duper Getrag 265 conversion with the roller bearings and upgraded syncros. My car is both a hobby and a daily driver so spending $$$$ on stuff I don't need is expected . I talked to the guy at the shop (Jim?) and he's almost talked me out of it by simply using ATF as discussed in numerous other threads. So now I'm on the fence. I'm going to try the ATF this weekend.
My question stems from not getting a call back after several attempts. I call during "phone hours" and leave a message but only once did I get a call back. He suggested I needed a work order number before I shipped it along with a description of the work to be done. I always worry about this kind of lack of communication, will I ship the transmission off into a dark hole, never to be heard from again?
