Transmission shop

Can anyone recommend a good transmission shop in the LA area?

I helped my gf into a Volvo S60, what a deal we got! Too bad the transmission is absolutely falling apart. Can anyone recommend a place that can do a rebuild for a reasonable price? A new trans is ~5k so we're hoping to not have to go down that route.

Thanks

Fuel&Fire has a reputation beyond repute

I used Leons Transmission a while back on my 98 Cobra... They did a full rebuild, and when the reverse synchro went out, they honered their warranty and had it fixed the same day.

They have a few locations...

Yeah, prob is this year has trans problems, so not only are there not many trannies out there but the ones still knocking around probably have the same problem. I put my gf in a bad car
