Default Are performabuilt transmission....

Wondering if anyone has done business with or bought a Performa Built transmission. Are they any good? Does anyone recommend them? Or go somewhere else?

Thanks for your input.......

I have not personally done business with them. But they are always one of the first to answer anyones question in regards to transmission. I have been reading the auto section for the last 6 months researching m6 to A4 swap, an there always there to help out customers and non customers.. I would say Permforma, FLT, RPM.. Can't go wrong with any of them..

I have done been business with them and I have a Lvl 2 with about 7500 miles on it. They have some of the best customer service of any company I have dealt with, car related or not.

Just installed a level 2 in my 98 ws6. the stock tanny broke the case!!! at only 38k miles. so far this trans is awesome, great shifting, awesome customer service (the best possible i think), and for the price you cant go wrong at all. I highly recommend them. oh yeah i purchased the 2500 stall converter also, works great in a stock application car. one last thing, if you purchase a converter it comes with a 2 yr warranty!!

Frank is the man for sure! The first one I bought 3rd gear went out within hours of the install, I got a hold of frank and he took care of everything and got me a new one shipped out. No hassle, no hard feelings, and it didn't cost me a thing.

I've been running one every since then and it works like a charm. I definitely recommend Performabuilt

I've never had a problem with it.

I've got one for sale if anyone wants one. It's a tad over a year old and has less than 500 miles on it with 4 1/8th mile passes. I've got a th400 with a trans brake in there now. I just need that sold to get it finished up.

Thanks guys.
I guess it's settled then. I hear good things about other places. But there's more consistancy with Performabuilt I think.
