Default Anyone in the WNY area know of a transmission rebuild shop

As the title states, does anyone know of a reputable shop in the Western New York area that either specializes or is knowledgeable of the 944/951 transaxle for a rebuild. I know the first thing I will be told is to buy another one... this is for a good working low mileage gearbox that I'm updating with WPC treated gears for strength and smoother operation.

I think our friend/Rennlist user KevinGross is around NY/CT?
He's a 944 transmission guru.

Kevin Gross did mine two years ago. Still running strong and great to deal with. I shipped mine to him by Fed Ex.

Hey Ryan, I am in central MA, perhaps not too long a drive for you. Alternatively, you could ship to me via a freight carrier, which I can arrange for you.

Thanks for the reply. I will keep in touch as this isn't going to happen immediately, just doing my research ahead of time. I still have to send in the parts for treatment and clean up the gearbox before I would send it out. For the most part I'm just looking for someone to reassemble the thing correctly, I will have every part clean and labelled so no surprises.
