Chad,
I would just open the yellow pages, and call a few transmission shops. You may get better leads that way.

Yeah, I did that and i found 1 out of about 30 that would try. I called back like 2 weeks later to set up a time and the ol guy retired and no one else wanted the headache.
thanx chad

call Lakewood or get a street rod type mag, and look for some one who makes an adapter for a nailhead and a 700r4. I don't know who makes it, but I remember reading about it about 2 years ago. Would be so sweet.

Go to the Buick Club of America website at www.buickclub.org and post your question on the Buick Collectible Tech and Restoration Forum.

There is at least one BCA chapter in Wisconsin, and there are many Buick owners who know the best Dynaflow experts in their respective areas. It's simply a matter of plugging into the right network of contacts for your area.

Good luck! There are still thousands of us driving our Dynaflow-equipped Buicks.

That link is to a site where the dude sells adapters to mount chevy tranny's to a nailhead. Pricey though.

They arent that bad to rebuild.... too bad your not near portland oregon, it would be easy for me. And I am only 40! and not retired!! :P

I have the rebuild book and your probably right. It doesn't look to awful. My problem is that I work six days a week for between 8 - 12 hrs a day and then go home to my wife and three children (8,4,2). Besides i don't think i would even know what to look for as far as wear is concerened

Call this place:

Valley Transmission
909.981.5824

ask for Galo, this guy has been building these transmissions for 40 years. At one point he built 2000+ for the US Navy. (Ask him why! You wont believe what the Navy uses these transmissions for.) I wouldn't let just any ol' transmission shop get their hands on this trans. You may get back a problem worse than you showed up with.

Good luck
