    reco and rebuild is the same thing and they will do your one unless they offer a replacement, stage 3 shift kit a full manualised valve body, made for racing, you HAVE to shift it up and down manually. Luckily for me, I've got a lot of mechanic mates, my old man been building race boxes and engines for years so I do alot myself. Prices vary from $800 to $3000 plus. If the car is stock, dont talk stages just tell the auto bloke to give a firmer shift and if he is good, he will know what to do, then compare the price he has quoted to the work you are getting done.

    Pretty sure Philthy had an auto rebuild/repair or reco done, and had a shift kit installed at the same time... send him a pm.

    Stage 3 is overkill, it basically turns your auto into manual gearbox without a clutch.

    Here, read this -
    Shift Kit stage 3

    Stage 2 is probably as high as you want to go.

    just get your standard auto re-built... you drive a commodore, not a drag car
