Tranny Shop in SF Bay Area

Hello Everybody,
I am looking for a reliable tranny shop in the San Francisco area [San Jose] (willing to go further for quality) to rebuild the transmission in my 85' German import 300D. If anybody has any information i would really appreciate it.
Thank You,
Matt

Matt,

There is MZF, Inc. at 1331 Rollins Road in Burlingame. 1-800-372-TRANS.

Wolfgang Bayer, the former head of service at San Francisco MBZ is the Ops Manager, a fantastic guy!

I haven't gone there myself, but I would, just to chat with Wolfgang!
Bob

I had the tranny in my 91 300SE rebuilt at Paul's Autowerks (or something like that) on Terra Bella off Shoreline in Mtn View. The shop is behind European Hardwood Floor, 1080 Terra Bella.
Nice predictable firm shifts after the rebuild. He rebuilds 'em full service or to go.
