and magically, Daryl off AA Trans says....
Because I never actually "enjoyed" doing them in the first place. Can't
"see" them work on the bench and there is too much of a comeback problem for
all auto rebuilders to satisfy me..AND I am so busy with what I enjoy doing,
I can't see taking on more hassles after 35 yrs in this business. I run
about 3 to 5%% give or take over a years time (around 300 units per yr) and
most auto trans rebuilders that will confide in me say they have about a 20%
return rate for one thing or another...actual shops and types may vary, but
that is the average. I do these shops manual trannys as they trust me more
than themselves...and visa versa...Daryl
