Well, I don't know about shops around Dayton, but there a real good shop in Illinois - Tom Kasper. A-1 Transmissions, or something like that. Not sure exactly where he is located, but he's a wiz when it comes to HydraMatics from what I hear. I had one of these done about 15 years ago. I was lucky. The dealership I worked at had a salesman who worked in service back in the '50s and he was our HydraMatic man. I pulled it, he disassembled it, I cleaned it up, he rebuilt it. No charge - he had a ball. Afterward, all I had to do was take it to another old HydraMatic man for band and linkage adjustment. Mine only had first and second. Third seemed like it went back down to first. I needed a new rear clutch drum - the clutches bored themselves into the old one.
