I've never talked with Joe but Amber's a peach. She's so nice you won't care if Joe wrecks your tranny.

I'm thinking about sending my trans in soon like next week....One of my local parts stores refered you and he said he talked to you today (Brian Autozone-wheaton,IL) about my car.....

Basically this is the deal:

My trans will not shift into 3rd gear......when I have the clutch pressed the shifter will go into 3rd but as soon as I start letting up on the clutch it grinds and spits it out into neutral.....however if I shift it the right rpm range (5000-6000 rpm) while at wot it shifts into third and sometimes without even grinding.... ANy guess to what that could be??? This all happend after one pass at the track....

My car is not that wild...its just a bolt on car dynoing 346hp/357Tq at the wheels....i plan on doing a few other bolt ons but nothing crazy......

What do you think? Stage one good enough or should I go more???

also what is the current turn around time assuming I can ship it next monday???


Thanks!

Six Speeds Inc. is the owner of the fastest 6speed LS1, so that should tell you something. These guys know what they're doing. They did my tranny not too long ago, but I still haven't put it in yet, since I'm also doing a turbo install. As soon as I get everything on, I'll let everyone know how it holds up. Amber was really nice and she is very knowledgeable. I'm sure they can get you set up with whatever you need.

Just got my tranny back from them, it took my t-56 longer to get shipped than it took for them to recieve it and get it back out the door. You can't go wrong with em, especially the warranty. You can't bust 700hp or it's void, who else does that??? They did a great job with me. Thank you so much Amber!!!

Hey we take the good with the bad. No shop I don't care who you are will have a 100% success rate. There will always be at least 1 customer who had a bad experiance and I don't mind those guys either. Customers need to know good/bad about a shop before dropping money in them. I do that when looking for parts for the race car.

Sorry, I can't find anything to complain about. My stage 4 with the alloyed out put shaft is working great. I have to remember not to exceed that 700 HP limit though - wouldn't want to screw up my warranty.

Oh by the way, W2W shipped out my core early last week. Hopefully, you have received it by now?
