Default What the Trans shop told me

I called a Trans shop that is a family owned shop since the early 80's. Just to see if they could adjust my bands on the tranny, and look into getting a Sure Cure Kit installed, because i didnt want to end up like Purple , So one of the managers/or Tech, said " we dont do any adjustments of the bands on that paticular tranny , because those are electronic controlled trannys that dont require any adjustments , the electronic sensors sense the problems and automactically make the adjustments neccessary" Hmmmmm, i said OK, so the electronics adjust the bands? and he said yeah the sensors take care of that? WTF OVER!!!I was looking into getting a Sure Cure Kit , do you sell and install these? He says, "no we dont install shift kits in those trannys because they do more harm than good because of the electronics", and i said do you know what a sure cure kit is from sonnax?, he said no, never heard of it. Long story short i asked what they would recomend to do to the tranny to make it last longer, he said nothing just keep changing the trans fluid and filter. And i use to work next to this tranny shop 10 yrs ago and they were the best repuatable shop in town. Called another tranny shop and they wanted $1800 Installed out the door for a little better than stock built tranny, guess which shop im not going to.

Did you get the quote from a different tranny shop for the Sure Cure Kit?
