Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Whooooooooooo.........
Alright, lets take a breather here
My point initially was to emphasize the quality I recieved from DTT & Massdiesel. I'm sure I would have recieved good service from other vendors but I chose DTT.
When I recieved a price, It was based on the mileage and usage of my transmission. Questions were asked, for example "Is my transmission currently slipping", "How is it currently shifting", "how many miles are on it currently" etc... .
I recieved a price based on these points.
In terms of getting these things in writing. If a Transmission shop gives this to you, they tend to have built in padding of the price to protect themselves from any unforseen problems. I (personally) prefer to not pay these inflated prices. When Massdiesel Opened my transmission and inspected it, he found a scored drum. The replacement cost of this drum was $210 and was not able to be forseen by Massdiesel. He gave me the option of replacing the part or utilizing the old one. I chose to install a new one, If your going to do it, DO IT RIGHT! Any other Transmission shop who gave a quote would have just reinstalled it possibly causing premature failure of my transmission.
After the Transmission work was done, Massdiesel asked me to come back in 500 - 700 miles for a tune up. This includes Changing the fluid & Filter and make any adjustments to ensure longevity. I know I'll have to pay for the fluid & filter but the adjustments are covered.
As I said before, I'm not being evasive about what I paid. A number of people have PM or Emailed me wondering what I paid and I have gladly forwarded the Information. If you would like I can forward it to you too.
Now no more:-{} be nice boys

By the way I've personally assisted more than once Massdiesel go through these transmissions and he doesn't take any short cuts, he goes out of his way to make sure that it is done right where others may have left it alone. He has a good reputation but he earned it.
