sixspeedsinc did great work for me and are really easy to work with when and if it comes to warranty work. Amber was very helpful and isnt in a hurry to get you off the phone if you are having a problem and need help troubleshooting and issue, she even gave me her personal cell number when she was sick to help me although i did not bother her till she was better. I'm not knocking other sponsors as im sure they will do you right as well just providing my experience, good luck with whoever you choose.

Seems like their prices are good. But I would like really like to find someone that has one already built so I dont have to deal with shipping to them they ship it back. In the mean time I need to find a shop that can store my car in the mean time while I wait for the Tranny.

its more than just pricing, when i sent them my tranny they had a special and paid for shipping both ways. I had an issue and thought it might be trans related and again she paid for shipping both ways when warranty work is normally paid by the customer for shipping. Also the same day they go my trans they had it cleaned, tore apart, rebuilt, and shipped the next day and was back to me within a weeks time total. Again no disrespect to other vendors just didnt want you to look only at what a website tells you, real life customer situations are what drives people in however the last time I spoke with amber they were having some issues b/c of the hurricane but all might be better now.

SSI seems to be hit or miss, usually for of the hit but I was a miss. I got alot of excuses and was lead on for some time before I got my tranny. Seems that to get anything done with them takes months for me. Still waiting on a refund for my core which was sent months ago. However the transmission they built is topnotch and I can not complain about that at all. Just that communication is not the best with SSI. Good luck picking a sponsor as I am sure they are all great ways to go.

Right now I know they are picking up after the Hurricane that hit down there, and they are merging with LMR, so they are probably busy. For a period of time I heard that they had some people working there that weren't taking care of anything, but they got that worked out.

Everytime I have talked with Amber I have always gotten good service and all my questions answered.

They didn't merge with LMR; the builder from SixSpeeds is now working at LMR.
