Mike,
TriumphTravelers had a transmission Tune 'n Tech at a place in Walnit
Creek - not far from San Francisco. Check out the story on our web site:
http://www.triumphtravelers.org/Events/Tune-n-tech/transtunetech/Transtunetech.php
We weren't doing an overdrive that day, but I understand this shop has a lot
of expertise in that area. That was my only experience with them, but the
club member that arranged the event, a retired machinist, thinks very highly
of them.
I also wouldn't hesitate to use Fremont Automotive in Fremont, CA. That's
where we normally have Tune 'n Techs and the cheif mechanic, Reiner Wolf, is
very adept at all repairs on these cars. Neither shop specializes only in
transmissions, but if you want to avoid shipping, they can get the job done
for you. They phone number is (510) 656-0490. Why don't you come to the
TTSCC club meeting this Wednesday, you can talk to the owner in person.
