Specialty Imports in Tampa?

[cicsprog]

I saw a couple of threads that speak well of Specialty Imports here in Tampa. Anyone had any problems dealing with this place?

Dave is as honest a mechanic as you will ever find.

Thanks Don. My G50 tranny needs 1 or possibly the other 2 main shaft bearings replaced. So “while I’m in there”, I am getting estimates for new syncros, clutch, etc.

I have a wide $ range from the various shops in the Bay area given a worst case scenario of what needs to be replaced.

If anyone else has some suggestions on what else should be inspected, not just tranny while the engine/tranny is out, please weigh in.

Check/Change out the CHT, Speed and reference sensors if they haven't been done REAL easy with the engine out of the car.

Adjust the valves

Replace sound deadening pad at rear of engine compartment.

Check and or replace rear shocks.

Torque the manifold bolts.

Lube the throttle assy.

Change out your plugs

etc...
