Hey guys, I'm looking for a mechanic in North Jersey to do a clutch install into my Pontiac Solstice. I asked over one one of the kappa based forums but I didn't' get any bites.

This place gets a lot more foot traffic, so I was hoping someone on here might be able to point me to a good mechanic/shop familiar with GM/Ecotecs for a clutch install.

I know that my solstice's transmission setup is different than a cobalts, but I figure any good shop that's familiar with cobalts and GM vehicles should be able to handle the job.

I usually do all my own work on my cars, but this is something that I'm not setup to do in my garage. I can't get the car high enough and I'm not sure I'd be able to wrestle the transmission out on my own without hurting myself, so I figured I'd let a pro handle this.

Anyone who can vouch for a shop or has had work done by a local mechanic they can point me to would be great.

 

Try Von Kattengall Transmission. 7325420015

 

I grew up with Eric. He is awesome with transmissions, Clutches, and drive axles

 

Ok, thanks for the suggestion, the place is only about an hour from me so I'll check it out.

Unfortunately a couple of days after making my original post my car took some damage while it was parked. No major damage to the car, only a body panel with some big dents and also my door took some deep scratches.

I got replacement parts on the way, but until then it's sitting in my garage cause the way the quarter panel got squished I think the tire might rub on it.
