Let me start with my problem, I’ll try to keep it short as possible.

Second week of November 2020, I met with a local Tremec installer, Pro Motion Performance Powertrain (Fort Lauderdale, FL), owner's name, Walt. On December 9th, 2020, I gave them a down payment of $2800, to order the Tremec 5 speed. Walt told me he would call me when he’s ready for me to deliver my GTO to begin work. Between the dates of Dec. 9th, 2020, and Feb 1st, 2021, we spoke 6 times; usually, it was me calling Walt for an update of when he can begin work. I called Walt on Feb 12 and I said, “Walt, the last time we spoke was Feb 1st and I’m calling for an update of when you can start work on my GTO”. He took offense to my question. Our phone call was brief, it did not go well and my problem remains unresolved. So this company may or may not do this install. I could possibly lose my $2800. This could end up a legal matter.

So, I need to find a reliable installer. If I have to ship my GTO out of state for a reliable installer, I’ll pay the cost. I don’t think Tremec will sell a ready-to-to transmission to ordinary people. So how did you Tremec tranny owners have yours installed? Being that my GTO is an automatic on the column, the work to install a standard shift is probably beyond my mechanical ability in addition to lack of time and space.

Also, Pro Motion Performance does not do the actual install. They do whatever they do to the tranny and then send the car to a nearby shop and this shop does the actual cutting of floor pans and installation of the tranny.

I need suggestions please. Thanks.
