Since I lived around Lonny and have known him since the early 90's when he had his shop in Hammersville, I know what kind of product he turns out. He had Grand Nationals from around the country in there for tranny work. I watched some of those cars dip into the 8's.
Because I've known him and been around a lot of his work, I'd likely go with Lonny. Gearstar as far as I know has a good reputation but I have no experience with them. They are pretty spendy but maybe someone will chime in that has used them. |

I have a Gearstar 700R4 in my 62 Tempest with a 61 389. They talked with me and put together a package with the transmission, transmission adaptor to match the 61 389, and a high torque mini starter. The transmission works great, and I have never had a hot start problem with the starter.

I am very satisfied with my Extreme Automatics 4l60e. Lonnie is a busy guy, so expect a wait, but he does put out a great product.

I got mine from Extreme - no problems so far, but i probably only have 5 or 6 miles on it. Hoping to start shake down runs this spring.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
