Default t56 rebuilds/sixspeedinc?

Do these guys respond to e-mails? Are they worth it? I need new synchros and 3-4 shift fork, but if I take the whole thing out of the car to get those replaced I want to upgrade everything even if it's minor.

Really? All I ever hear is good things about them. You can always call Amber on her cell. She has given it on many times on this forum. Or even PM her.

I read this & remebered this thread;
https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/728353-amber-six-speeds-inc-out-town-next-week.html
I think she is gone this week & they are short handed.
Why not call & leave a message?

Yes they are worth it.

Amber has been great at answering my technical questions, you need to call them. I placed my order on Wed. and Bonnie and Jason helped me out.

I can't imagine how bombarded they are with emails and messages, yours might have just fallen through the cracks. Don't take it personal.

FWIW Amber has been one of the only sponsors that has actually called back after they said they would "call back". Even after a period of 2 days.

If you already know what you want, just give them a call. Hell they even have a toll free number.

They are definately worth it. Got mine done there and would definately use them again. Amber is great to deal with and will call you back if she says she will. She's always been good about answering any technical questions and she along with all of the employees know their stuff. Just givem another shout. I also remember a thread on here about their phones being down.

I have heard good things about them but have never once got a response to an e-mail. Maybe some here knows the answer to this,

Does the 1A Rebuild kit on their website include any parts not listed? If you add all the parts listed in the kit to the shopping cart seperate they total less than the kit.

CALL THEM!!! They are awesome, they gave me a new love for my T-56. I've noticed everything is starting to get to the point where people are scared to use the phone anymore. I can't understand why since it's soo much faster and you can have a lot more questions answered

Well, fellas, she is gone for the week,will be back on Monday, the 18th of June, I already have my shipping label they overnighted me, and Bonnie one of there very friendly salespeople called me back within a hour after I called them, they have free shipping going on right know and I figure they have rebuilt more than 850 T56's they must know something, bottom line the customer service has sold me, I will let you all know what the final results are, but I have no doubt in my mind, they will be top notch, and no I am not getting paid to say this, I am going to be another one of there new customers.

I got mine done by them and it was in pretty bad shape. I would do the same again and Amber communicated with me constantly through the ordeal.
