I blew my Dodge Auto in Bullhead City. The Dealer wanted $2800+700 Labor. No warrenty due to E-Brake and BD Auto-Loc. Called around and hooked up with Colorado Transmission & Gear. Now at home the Diesel Performance T-builders Charge around $32-3800+labor. Their trans are built to hold 800 HP.

The shop there QUOTED me $4600+420 labor for a Karway Stage 2 HillKiller trans. Sounds fair right, when you allow freight etc. He also quoted me $6400+labor for the Karway Stage 3.

Well there was a prob, so I drove to Messa, Az, manually shifting trans. That is where Karway has it's factory. They were MORE than accomadating getting it fixed. Prob was Installer prob with acuater cable. I would reccomend them HIGHLY!

Due to prob the installer reduced the price to $3450+labor.

NOW here is my Prob:

Stage 2 Quoted $4600-Karway Factory price to me $2493?
Stage 3 Quoted $6400-Karway Factory Price to me $3471?
YOU decide who you'd do business with????
