Automatic Transmission - Rock-On Tranny just crapped out. WTF?

4 months old and ~800 miles with only 4 track passes. Track passes was all motor and only 1 bottle of 100 shot (on street),W.S. cuttin N20 off at 6300 and shifting at 6600... So, not spraying thrue the shifts. And this was their stage IV ~$2000 tranny as well. So, im pretty pissed off right now!!

1st and 2nd, no problem. Hits 3rd and rpm's just shoot up and no go any faster.... So, thats tells me that 3rd/4th clutch packs took a shit. If I give it more gas in 3rd, it does try to grab, but then just lets go.. What do yall think?? Reminds me of when my stock tranny went out. Has plenty of fluid, prolly need to change it but dont think it would help.. Any ideas? Does Rock-On still have a phone #? Tranny still is under warranty and I still have their box to ship it as well... Any info on these fuys would be great..

Why don't you try calling them first?

I have heard conflickting stories about them being out of business/John's (think that was his name) in the hospital, etc... Last thing I head is that they are not a sponsor anymore.

I know there's someone here with a line in their signature stating that Rock-On ignores his calls.

Rock on is pretty much done for. They owe me and alot of people money/trannys.

Peace,
Josh

That sucks man....arent the site admin's supposed to try and help when something like this happens?

Dont know, just seeing if anyone knows anything new about rock on..

Though they do show up on some banners in other forums I to had heard they were no longer in bussiness

good luck i was told not to buy from them

Can those few parts that broke be replaced at a minimal cost? I wouldn't think you would need a whole new transmission.

According to the BBB they are out of business. I have had one of their units apart that was sold as a level 5 and was not. I do know that they were having issues towards the end and this unit was not even close to what they advertised. This customer was very unhappy when we reported what we found. He chose to order a FLT level5 with a billet output shaft. If you would like to have your unit gone through please give us a call. Vince

i would be on a head hunting mission if they actually don't put the parts in there that they advertised.

here is what i found. not sure if anyone will answer

hope that helps and someone will actually honor the warranty on it.

the guys name that owns was dave. he screwed me over in my last car i had.
i went through 2 of them. had to pay both times. because the pump broke because he said i installed the convertor wrong. now im an ase certified tech at a gm dealer and drove it for 2 months so tell me how was the convertor instaled wrong. dave was a total ass yelling and cusing at me. the second time it went out i wasnt paing freight 2 again so i took it apart my self. let me tell you it only cost him maybe 400 in parts that was in that tranny. the only thin it had worth anything in it was a trans go vaccum modulation kit, other that that it was basicly crap. all i have to say is what comes around goes around. im sure hes having his day after riping people off. i put him in the same cattagory as fuddle convertors. just my 2 cents and i hope dave or his son reads this :flipbird:

How much will you charge to do that and fix whats broke? I would assume 3/4 clutchpacks are toast.

went to rock on...name still on the door. doesnt look like it changed since last time ( three weeks ago. dave started out doing ok had some issues with trans but he took care of it now screwed up again and cant find them. i doknow dave sr had med issues. but his son seemed healthy.hmmmm.

I tried callin the numbers above and they dont work.. I emailed him today as well but dont think I will get a reply.. Thanks for checking. Sure wish I could get my tranny fixed!!

I am currently learning how to build trannies. I am doing mine 1st, if it turns out good, and I can get a supplier for parts....... look for me to do this on the side as a sponsor.

Welcome to the club of Victims of Rock-On Transmissions.

My Performance Built Lvl 3 is being installed while we speak.

this is the reason my trans is sitting in the box still, for one i have no time to put it in, and two, i am scared it will fail and i wont know who to be mad at, sucks though because now it aint worth shit....

I would have to see it first. If you would like to discuss this, feel free to give me or Chuck a call anytime. Vince

FLT is a very good company My buddy has a trans of theirs and it cant be beat... It outlasted my 3000 dollar supposidly 1000hp capible trans!

Yea, I talked with Vince over at FLT, I am going to yank my tranny and just send it over to him. Two of my buds have their tranny's and so far so good in their cars.. So, I just need to get off my ass and pull the tranny now.

damn man, makes me want to send him my trans, doesnt matter the cost as long as it isnt another 2 grand

I have a FLT In mine and its great.. Breaks my neck when it shifts

that was me.

Just so you know we are now FLT.(Finish Line Transmissions) When you are ready we will be here. Vince

You all should have used Specialty Transmission in Duncanville, Texas and you would not have had a problem! He's is so good that after 400 passes this past year in my TA I have had no issues!! And I believe he carries a warranty too and is quite reasonable. If you want, give him a call if you want a REAL rebuild. Tell him the Green TA Girl sent ya!!
