Testing a tranny while its out of the car
(OP)
I just removed my tranmission from my 92 nissan 300zx automatic, It was rebuilt and it seems it was pourley rebuilt. I am know going to just buy a used japanese transmission, and I would like to know if their are places that can test a transmission while its out of the car, and see if it working right? I am in southern california, your response will be greatly appreciated.

of them were for the standard front engine/rear wheel drive
type configuration though and at major transmission
rebuilders machine shops. You might want to look through
these transmission insustry newsletters for some more
information. ATRA (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders
Association) also has a website and an information help
center that may be able to find you something closer to
your location in So Cal.

The used trans and engines are super cheap for what you get.

No affiliation.
They import 100,000's of used Japanese built
engines/transmissions of all types directly from Japan.
Not a bad deal in most cases. Most of their inventory
has +-50,000 miles of use.

They were cheap because they had no DOT counterpart in the U.S. The twincam turned out to have less than 20,000 miles on it. We put it in a MkII Cortina (Coryota or Toytina???)
Forgive the memory loss, I've been upside down welding a cage all week.
