reputable tranny mechanic?
Does anyone know of a reputable tranny mechanic in the twin cities area, close to Stillwater or Forest Lake or general vicinity and one that knows Ford 4x4's? thanks

I guess it depends on what kind of work you are looking to have done, and on what type of transmission.
|
I only know of one, but he`s east of Brainerd.
|
There is a tranny shop in St. Croix Falls, WI that is pretty good. I can get a number if you'd like.
|
I'll second that shop in St Croix Falls. i know his son and he is good, with any tranny 715 482 9770 is his number name of the shop is St Croix Transmission. Talk to Ron
|
thanks I will give them a call. i wish they could do a house call!
|
sorry i posted the number wrong its (715) 483-9770 (not 482-9770) sorry about that
|
I called Ron at st. croix transmission. he seemed like the mechanic i'm looking for. thanks for the advice guys. now my only roblem is getting my truck over there. i know this will sound sad but true.... a car dolly, rental is $50 which I'm not gonna dish out. i guess it's too far (22 miles) to tow it with a strap on 4 wheels even if i take both driveshafts out. anyone know where i could rent a car dolly for a reasonable price so i can still afford to have my truck fixed. thanks,

What year truck do you have? If it's older, you can shift the t-case into neutral and flat tow it no problem. If it has an electric t-case, I think you have to remove the driveshafts(just on the axle end) though I don't believe 22 miles isn't too far to flat tow a vehicle, even without disconnecting the driveshafts.
I don't think you'll find a car dolly rental cheaper than that, especially around here. |
i fyou have the time and ability with a friend pull the tranny and t-cse yourself and bring it to him, you'll save a few bucks and the hassle of tryin to get the truck there

find a friend with AAA or Amoco motor club.
also that is a tough 22 miles if you drive 95 north,, good luck towing that truck with a strap down that long busy hill between 8 & the border. Better way to go would cross in osceola & take 35/87 north to 8 also dolly rental shouldnt cost $50 more like $35 or $40. |
