to rebuild a clutch on a 67 IH pickup (3 speed). The people at rose bros were assholes, so i am looking for other options.

in raleigh? I've dealt with transmedic on millbrook a few times and they're good people. They are in the same little area as henry's, between old wake forest and atlantic ave.

Charlie at Charlie browns said "i dont really care about doing it" then hung up. What the fuck is the matter with people these days?

Hold on...to rebuild a clutch?

Do you mean replace a clutch on a manual tranny?

Damn near anybody can do that. I can do it for a good price.

^^^ Depends. We're only getting one side of the story. You didn't happen to call his mother a whore before asking him for a quote did you?

Call Craig Staples at SAE in Durham, he will do it, no problem. http://www.staplesautoengineering.com/

yeah, i could do it. But i have so much going on right now i dont have the time, and it will probably sit in pieces for years if i start it myself. And no dumbass, i didnt call the guy names, I just asked if they could do the work. I have had 3 shops say about the same thing. What happened to customer service?

10/1/2008 7:35:15 PM

Houston, i got a guy that will do it right and for a good price.... don't know why the hell i didn't think of him before. pretty much all he does is 4wd/truck stuff with a large chunk of it being specialty things. drop me a pm and i'll give you his info and you can name drop me.unle

My Mazda's transmission just got done at Charlie Brown's (thx to zxappeal's recommendation). We had one problem/misunderstanding, but it all got straightened out without any hassle & in the end we were extremely well taken care of. When I called Rose Bros they were also helpful (talked to me for a good 10-15 minutes)-- but maybe it's just because I'm female and they thought they could swindle me out of lots of $$ . Who knows.

Well you ARE cute and smart...lol

Ok- so... after driving the Mazda for a little while it is official that the transmission problem is NOT fixed and the car rides extremely rough at any speed >60mph [my little mexican pickup drove more smoothly at 75 with its stiff suspension than the mazda can do at 40, 50, 60, 70, etc now]. Not too happy with Charlie Brown's work so far.... it drove better with the busted CVs and slipping transmission, and that's not considering the ~$3k they were paid and the 2 weeks they kept it. This is why I absolutely HATE taking stuff to a shop

10/8/2008 9:33:02 PM

^ tell them to drive it and ask them if they spent 3k on it is that how they would expected to drive

10/8/2008 11:04:21 PM

her mom wanted the car, so it was her mom's money...I was just happy to see it leave the driveway

10/9/2008 12:16:28 AM

It's in the $5-6k range. Mom needed a new car, but my dumb ass stepdad won't let her get one-- (she's driving the 95 regal with 300k on the original engine & tranny... it cuts out driving like 60 down the road regularly now). So she spent some of her own $$ to get it fixed so she will have more reliable transportation-- but it didn't work out as well as I had hoped Might end up just selling it and getting something different after all.
