I cant say I have but if you have noticed we have several good sponsers here I would suggest you contact first Among them US (PerformaBuilt) of course but also RPM, ACE, FLT and more.

I'll just say this,
I buy over $100k in rebuild parts (not specialty or billet performance parts) a yr, so I get pretty good pricing on parts. I can't buy a complete set of Alto clutches, Kolene steels, Beast sun shell, bushing kit, electrical parts, band, pump rebuild parts, boost valves, and other necessary parts to do a proper rebuild for what they are selling a complete unit for. Much less pay for core costs, shop expenses, and my labor costs, and I have relatively low overhead.
Sometimes you get what you pay for...

I couldn't have said it better. Those are facts.

I looked at every page of their website and can say I'm not impressed. But hey, I'm not good at building websites nor painting transmissions myself.

Wait wait wait. So you guys have to pay for quality parts?

You have three very good options above. Do it once and do it right and don't worry about it.

Thanks for the link and for a good laugh! I saw many things I could point out on that site that are just wrong. However I'm not going to waste my time. Do yourself a favor and do not even think about buying one of those units.

Hmmm, I had never seen a transmission painted in two-tone before...

I trust the sponsors here.

I would avoid that outfit, I seriously think you will regret it.
