Re-cert transmission case

Curious, how many people actually send their transmission cases back to get them recertified? I was looking on Reid's website and they only charge $100 plus shipping each way.

Is it worth it considering there is no tech anymore?

I send mine in when it goes out of cert. Its 100 dollars. If anything it gives you a piece of mind that the case is not cracked or that something is not broke. Safety First.

I guess I've never understood why transmission cases have to be re-certed but engine blocks and rear end housing do not. Of the 3 I would think the trans case is the less stressed, and they're all engineered to do their job?

There are some Reid dealers around the country that can do the resert, you might try and find one in your area. Maybe Reid can point you to one. We have one right here in Dallas

The trans is the only one in the drivers compartment (unless a rear-engine dragster) and the case IS the required flexplate shield and trans shield.

I just pulled two perfectly-working transmissions to send in for recert over this winter. If I didn’t run a lot of NHRA events, I may not bother with it.

Anyone know of a Reid Dealer in the Mid-Atlantic area that can do reverts?
