Actually, they DO NOT do well building transmissions at all. They DO, however, sell very good PARTS. I ran their parts in my truck for 32K miles until the 3-4 clutches finally wore out gave up, but until then it did not have any problems handling 600 ft/lbs torque.

I have been preaching these same things for years...

They may have quality parts but I will never find out. Helll if I would ahve found out what I did two days earlier they wouldnt have done my Transgo & etc....
Alot of guys may have had good luck with them via internet or whatever but since they have a bad wrap with my community Ive never heard of them! even though they did do some ok work on my truck I guess!

Tiger, I was actually talking with someone out at GM about that and they mentioned there was a couple of SS"s out there that had superchargers on them. The guy I was tlaking to didn't know anything passed that though, but said it kinda jumped in your face when the hood went up.

I think you should get them to come. I wanna see the pigs run!

About the trans place, I went and got some parts for my 60e there a while back and ran them. They do sell good parts, but I'm sure you can get those same parts somewhere else.

They had a 'test truck' that was a blown alcohol pro stock type ride. I saw them take it out to the track at Hallsville once. It ran strong, but nearly ended up in the wall. He couldn't hook for nothing.

i know you arent gonna let him off that easy. time to call the better busines bureau. also while you are at it call your local newspaper. i found out that most newspapers have a rant an rave section that it seems like everyone loves to read. other people want to know whats bad and good too. no matter what happens at least do those two things. bad comments in the local newspaper do wonderful things to (crooked)businesses. dont let other people get had too. also, i dont know anything about trannies but what caused all that to break? if it was those planetaries he for sure owes you everything. sorry, im on my soap box but thats cuz i had a similar incident with my camaro and i just kinda settled for a semi fix. still upset about it today.

Say you paid to have an all-forged motor built to handle 800HP. Then, let's say the builder left a STOCK crank in there (and charged you for it) and, of course, it broke destroying everything else with it, and say the motor broke making only 500HP.

Same situation.

They ripped you off and now want you to let them rip you off some more.

At this point you should not want their merchandise because having it may tend to perpetuate the relationship with them. If they are forced to build you a new transmission you can bet from their attitude it will be even more sub-standard than the last one. Have your lawer demand a full refund.

i have spoken to a lawyer. he said theta they are only responsible for the part that was not in there. and that it cannot be proven that the planataries caused the failure. i will try others but it is going to be hard to do. especially since i cant afford a damn thing right now.
