I live in Rhode Island and own a 74 TR-6 (non OD) and would like to have all of my transmission leaks fixed as well as correcting clutch chatter, which will probably involve replacing or at the least, refacing of flywheel. Can anyone recommend a shop in the area that is capable and reliable to do this work? Once it's out, I want it gone through and rebuilt if needed. I see Quantum is in CT and they seem to be pretty good, but is there anyone closer to Providence?

Thanks,

Paul
 
I spoke to John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics in Monroe, CT today. I'm going to bite the bullet and have them install a rebuilt transmission complete with Type "J" (error corrected) overdrive, new Saab style clutch, linkage package, rear main seal, reface flywheel, and new pinion seals while they're under the car. It's a lot of bucks, but I've owned it since new and it's not going anywhere, so why not? Maybe my garage floor will stay oil free for awhile after this. I'm just waiting for him to give me the dates available to do it. I'd love to get it done before Stowe in September.
