My '96 Explorer (105K miles) is in need of having the transmission rebuilt. I'm a complete newbie, in that I've never needed or experienced this problem before, and so I'm hoping someone here can help me with some guidance.
I live in Forest Hills, NY (Queens) and have a shop called Reliable Transmission nearby, they are a ATRA rebuilder member. Also, there are plenty of Ford dealers nearby as well. Does anyone on this forum live in my area? If so, can you kindly make a good recomendation for who to use?
Finally, what are the pro's and con's of using a private repair shop versus the dealer? Thanks in advance to all who can offer me some advice, it is very appreciated!
