Maejo Man Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I am in need of a good automatic transmission workshop, that is capable of servicing an automatic gearbox. The torque converter is giving problems, and needs to be stripped down and serviced. My garage, although very good, does not have the tools, but can replace the box with a generic at a rather high cost. Anybody out there had experience with a good one? ...MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1p Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Am advised that the only good places are in Bangkok. My repair guy ships them there for servicing if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Am advised that the only good places are in Bangkok. My repair guy ships them there for servicing if required. You know something P...you're right!! I found that out today from enquiries at the major workshops. Even Honda, as big as they are in Chiangmai send their transmissions to Bangkok. I was quoted 45,000 baht and a month's turnaround! How's that from a company that can't even service their own cars!! My garage has located a re-conditioned one in Bangkok for 14,000 and it will be on it's way tomorrow with any luck. Remind me to buy a manual box next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta22 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 What car is it and what year and brand , if you want i can check for you when i visit my workshop . or give them a call sometime is not worth repairing if it for a old engine . and a simple replacment with a second import from japan save you more money . i run a LSD on one of my car and to repair it will cost me 5k . but to replace it would be about 5k also . if you state the model and years of the car and prefer the engine - who know tehre might be a spare some where in chiangmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
