Reliable transmission shops?

I've run into an issue recently where my trans, after about 15-20 mins of run time, slips when it should shift into overdrive. This has become a real PITA as you could imagine... I'm certain it's a line/solenoid issue but with 210k+ miles on the trans, I'm sure it's time for a rebuild..

Can anyone steer me in the right direction to a good trans shop that won't cost me a fortune?

It's a 97 XJ Sport 4.0l if that helps, also I'm located in Maricopa but work in Chandler. Thanks in advance for any info!

No matter where u go you are looking at 700+ for a tranny rebuild. My dad had his rebuilt a few months back but the shops not around anymore. So not sure whete to suggest

Thanks for the reply... I'm hoping as the forum's season becomes more active, more people might have some leads..

I'm totally looking forward to the $700+.........

My brother works at AJs Transmissions in Mesa on the 60 and Mesa dr next to Camping world. His name is Brian and if you wanna call him tell him Tim sent you and that your from the Copa Crawlers site. The number up there is 480-926-8750

Thank you, Tim. I will try to give Brian a call ASAP. This trans issue is really getting on my nerves.

Oh I know the feeling. My old truck did the same thing on the freeway. The rpms would jump up 500 rpm for no reason. I replaced every sensor and solenoid on it and it never got fixed. Turned out to be the TC but I was trying to trade it in so I never spent the money on the new TC and just lived with it.

I'm gonna have to sell a kidney to be able to afford this.

That being said, anyone want to buy a kidney?

This is the same deal my dad did. Same place it's just a different name now.
