A friend needs a good reference for a shop in the Bellevue / Seattle area to install a 3.27 rear end in his Pagoda. He has the unit, but may want it gone through before installation (bearings, seals, rubber). Any tips would be appreciated.

Give a call to Patrick Linke at Car Tenders in Seattle:  (206) 324-0345.  I spoke to him about the project so he'll be expecting a call.

Hello Craig,

Thanks for the information. Hope you are doing well. I still appreciate the hospitality shown by you guys when I was in Seattle a few years ago! Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks, and Happy New Years!
