does passon trans rebuild YOUR trans and send it back?

[halle09]

I would like to take my original trans and rebuild it. From what i read passon rebuilding kit is the way to go. Do they rebuild your trans nd send it back or is it a core charge and swap? I want to keep it original.

And if they do not what is a place that people recommend for a rebuild that is quality. Also how much does it cost to get done in general?

I would HIGHLY recommend BREWERS PERFORMANCE for a stock 4 spd transmission rebuild

[anlauto]

Their web site say $1300....I think that's if you don't have a core ?

Gotta be way less than that with your core because they are rebuilding it and 90percent of parts are in it already im thinkng like 500 600 but i wanna see if anyone has done it

called brewers....for anyone that is wondering 23 spline e body 4 speed trans is $395 labor+Parts

[anlauto]

Guess you were close with your $600 estimate. I have a local some do mine because I'm in Canada but I buy all the parts from Brewers.

yea feuhhhh.... i was like 1300 no way for the core!.....but i also called passon its 350 labor and parts....rebuild kit was 100 to 120 the guy said plus whatever is not in spec obviously. so both are basically the same price it just depends where u wanna bring it and how much shipping is to them i guess. brewer is ohio ....passon PA.

I'm in the process of rebuilding mine myself.  Tore it apart 2 weeks ago.  Passon is shipping me a rebuild kit and OD gear set.  Aside from snap ring pliers and a press you don't really need any special tools.  I'm going to try to document putting it back together.
Good luck!

The Plymouth or Dodge Shop manual shows the process of re building them.

So does the $1,300 price for a rebuilt unit include sending your core in or is that for just the tranny?

I just had Brewers go through my transmission. These guys know 833's like the back of their hands. I had a bad vibration that I narrowed down to the trans. I wanted somebody that would spot issues with the parts in the trans. Somebody who just rebuilds trannies might not spot some little problem. Myself included.
So here's how it works using Brewer's to rebuild your trans. Call them up and tell them what you have going on. I'm just 1 state away from them so shipping cost is going to vary on this. They shipped me a heavy duty box with a foam clam shell insert and included a return shipping label. This cost me $75.00 plus $90.00 for return shipping label. They tore it down and called me with a quote and the parts list. The main shaft was bent as I had figured. This was due to me losing a drive shaft during a hard shift. They also replace a counter shaft, bearings, shift shaft, shift fork and all the usual stuff. The bill ended up being $975.00 parts and labor plus return shipping. It took a total of about 4 weeks. They did a great job as far as cosmetics go also. It looks like a brand new trans that's ready to install. Wayne and Dan are extremely knowledgeable with these trannies and are very helpful with answering any questions. I highly recommend Brewers!

I ended up ordering a 18 spline HEMI tranny from Wayne at Brewers. Can't wait to get that trans mounted up. I also had to get a new Spec clutch disc since my old tired trans was a 23 spline.
