You can give Zen (the owner) a call at Gold Coast Corvette in Fort Lauderdale.
Very knowledgeable and professional operation, BUT---always VERY BUSY. Might be a while for an appointment.

Automatic or manual? Just remember that there is nothing special about a Corvette transmission. It is the same as any GM transmission of the era. Why pay the "Corvette" premium? Find a good transmission shop in your area (not a chain).

Auto. I know I hate at the end of the day when you drive by the shop and your car left outside with doors and windows opened, and car seat is black.
this is the type of memories I remember

Final update:
Base on recommendations I have decided to go with: AAction Transmissions at Coral Spring FL.
It was probably the best decision I have ever made. Would highly recommend them.
