Trans Rebuild Recommendation, BW 1:1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, 

I will be pulling the trans from my '86 Martinique Bowrider soon for a rebuild.  I understand that it has a BW 1:1 velvet drive transmission.  It began leaking badly and recently slipped, and ran hot a few times, so I've been told a rebuild is in order.

I'm looking for a reputable shop or individual that does quality work (I understand that not all rebuilds are necessarily the same) to send my tranny to for the R&R.

I'm located in the Southeastern US (Alabama), but can ship the trans unit if needed.

Any feedback on this topic is appreciated.

Jeff
