The Pomona Swap Meet Has Just The Fix You Need

Steve Macias and Alex Ramirez

I just finished a telephone conversation with a delightful lady named Alex Ramirez. It’s not unusual to have a chat with a lovely lady, it is unusual to discuss Ford 4R70W electronic controlled 4 speed automatic transmission with an over drive gear and lock-up feature. Or a GM TH-400 automatic transmission built to handle the high horsepower of the big block Chevy engine. It was unusual for me but not for Alex as she and her brother Steve Macias are the owner/operators of MP Transmissions.

MP Transmissions (a family owned business) was founded in 2008 by CEO Steve Macias and Co-Owner Alex Ramirez. MP Transmissions specializes in domestic automatic transmissions for the street-strip and racing enthusiast.

Don’t let the 2008 conception date fool you – MP Transmission’s team has a combined experience of 25 years re-manufacturing and repairing performance transmissions for top manufacturers. They specialize in rebuilding automatic transmissions to stock or to yours specifications. You want a rock crawler, a strip runner or an all out high speed, highly reliable transmission? They provide the expertise and the service. In addition, they provide accessories for your transmission needs such as: cooling pans, oils, shift kits, shifters, radiators (transmission coolers), torque converter work and a variety of expert information.

If you have ever tried to rebuild an automatic transmission you soon realize after your dissemble little thingies: springs, slides and those steel balls, via gravity, scatter, bounce, run and roll out all over the floor, inevitably finding their stay in the most remote places of your garage never to be seen again. However, if you do get it together, how are you going to test it? You put it back in the car – that’s how. This is quite a job and a huge struggle just to find out after testing you probably have to take it out again – start all over – and try to keep the little thingies from running away again. There is another way. The folks at MP Transmissions have a Dyno tester where they mount the transmission, put a load on it and rev the heck out of it until they are satisfied that your tranny is running great!
