Default [XK8 Transmission] A drum Issue - Rebuilt?

My XK8 came up with the A-drum issue, based on my searching. So questions?
I can pull it myself, and reinstall as I have a lift in my detail shop.
I found this place for decent price
aafloridadiscount : BMW AND JAGUAR ZF5HP24 REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS

Good, bad indifferent, is there a better place/price?
Quality of the rebuild is more important to me, than the $$$$. I do not want to buy a used tranny unless it has been rebuilt with the latest parts that solves the issues with the ZF5HP24.
I have no issues replacing parts, but time is of the essence, as my shop is incredibly busy and I don't have a lot of time to do a rebuild/replacement of parts.
Thoughts

If I just came upon that website, there is NO WAY I would buy anything from it... but I did a quick google search and it looks as though they are legit and in the Tampa area (and hopefully they are better at rebuilding transmissions than they are at websites).

I don't know about pricing, but personally I would look for someone closer to you in case you have any issues...

Gus recommended this company to me a while back and if I were doing the replace myself, I would have used them - this is what they quoted me at the time:


Our price is $2295.00 plus $700 core deposit and freight ($400 to SC and return). Transmission comes with torque converter, is full of OE oil, and dyno tested. Warranty is one year unlimited miles. We would need about a week before we could ship it.

Its a 2 hour job to replace the A-drum when it is out. Max. Also, very easy- I appreciate wanting to rebuild the tranny completely, but it IS $150 in parts vs $2300.

Agreed, the website is not so good... and as I thought about you are correct finding someone closer or doing it myself is a better option
