Good transmission shop in Edmonton ?

[TA-PW]

Just wondering if any of my Alberta peeps on here can recommend a good transmission shop in the Edmonton area? Having some trans issues I would like to get resolved before it strands me somewhere……
TIA

What issues are you having?

What issues are you having?

Harsh shift into 4th sometimes, then sometimes shifts from 1st to 4th and won’t go any higher. I also had a check engine light on and when I scanned it it was an overdrive solenoid code, happened when I was in Tow mode towing a fairly light trailer.
I’m wondering if a valve body upgrade would fix my issues.

Sounds more like the solenoid pack to me. They are a known issue along with the valvebody. I don’t want to tell you to just start throwing parts at it but if it were me I would change the valvebody and solenoid pack together. If you are comfortable doing it then I would definitely do so. Dropping the pan, changing the fluid, filters and valvebody take probably an hour.

Ya that’s what I was thinking of doing, I’m pretty comfortable doing it, been a Diesel engine mechanic for 30+ years and used to rebuild Allison off highway transmissions, 5960 and 6061’s.
Any recommendations on brands? I’ve seen NextGen and Sonnax ones

I’d say your capable for sure. I put a sonnax in mine which are reman oem with upgraded components and they have been machined flat to get rid of the warping. I can’t really comment on other brands but I know revmax and ats make them.
