[W126 Coupe] 500 Transmission

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Hey there Scott,
I'd stay away from the Adsit rebuilds.  One I have lasted 5K before starting
to shift weird, the other 10K.  Conscientious re builders will do the
associated TSB's that you would find on later boxes.  I have a fellow in NY
that has been doing my rebuilds.  If you are interested we can do Kevlar
bands and HP Kevlar clutches as well.

We should chat Healey's some time..  My father owns 6 including car # 2( or
3 depending on who's numbers you go by, AH or Jensen).

Give a ring, 404 805 1357

BR
Jonathan
