I'm searching for someplace that can rebuild the transmission on my 59. I live in the San Jose, CA area. Any recommendations?

Thanks, Ivan Yurtin

Hello Ivan,

I cannot speak to Bay Area Transmission shops but I can refer you to a shop about 80 miles inland to you in the Sacramento, CA area.  Give ATO Performance Transmission a call @ 9166363283.  They have a web presence via a search engine query.

The guru that rebuilt my '59 Hydramatic in 1987 is long gone, unfortunately.  I have heard good things about ATO and you will not be paying Bay Area prices...

Hi Ivan,

I have rebuilt a couple 59 & 60 transmissions and have the special tools required to do so. I live near Los Angeles. Feel free to send me a message if you are interested is discussing a possible rebuild with me.

Has anyone used Restoration Hydramatics in Salinas, CA? I think it's called Transmissions by Gene.
