I have a 46re I need rebuild parts for, "now".
Down the road, I have a couple more here, at least a 904 and an A500 I'm gonna need kits for,
I have a "Transtar" and a "W I T" about the same distance away.
Neither open Saturday, so I'm gonna have to take time off work to deal with either. Yeah, there's mail order/ online order/ but there's nothing like face to face across the parts counter type of deal.

Anybody have experience with either? One better than the other? I've dealt with Transtar but its been a while. They bought out the old "DACCO" that I used to use when I did more of that kind of work.
(those days were nice because they had a closer location to me)
the locations Im looking at are Addison and Downers Grove IL.

Not necessarily looking for "cheap" (unless one or the other is "usually cheaper than the other on the same stuff....
best bang for buck".
One to avoid? Either better than the other, for quality of parts etc?
While were talking transmission stuff/ parts like Red Alto and Kolene weren't heard of, back when I last overhauled a trans. What's all the hubbub? Worth it? Daily driver, occasional tow pig.
