Default A quick Warning

Hey guys

After having my tranny takin apart. I found the Torque Drive package to be leaking presure again. This is the second time . The first time i was lucky and the guy building it found the leak before it was in the car. Not this time. I would recomend anyone to stay clear of this product because so far I am 2 for 2 with preasure leaks with it. Both were brand new and both leak way too much presure where the shaft and drum connect. I will try to send it back for a refund from PATC. Hopefully they are stand up and give it to me or ill have to get it through my credit card. I mean $320 bucks for a leaking product is just plain crazy!!!

Ill let ya know what happens on friday . I hope they dont try to screw me. I definitly do not want to a 3rd one and I cant afford this crap anymore!!

Jeremy

damn J.....Sorry to hear that....I am running that package also, but so far(knock on wood) I havent had any problems.......I guess that is why you burnt the 3-4 clutches at only 1100 miles? What are you going to try now? I know it sucks.....you have had as much or more trouble with trannies as me.....Hope you get it straightened out!!!!!
