Default Anybody deal with True Tech Performance Transmissions?

I recently installed a kit from this vender in my 4l60e. Included,
Rebuild kit with seals, bushings, molded apply pistons, gaskets, filter. New accumulator pistons and springs.
Also Raybestos red clutches, 3/4 kolene steels and backing plates with selective plate also. Thrust washer kit, new corvette servo with raybestos wide band,
shorter pin, 2-3 sonnax check
valve, .500 boost valve, corvette
sep plate, input drum
reinforcement kit, new delco
reverse drum.
Plus BOTH 5 pinion planets, with updated Hub. And 29 element forward sprag. Sonnax
roller smart sun shell with new
race. And a tub of trans gel All for about 1000 shipped.
thought that was a good deal.
Claims to hold 550 hp plus

I bought my first set of AcDelco 5-pinions and other hard parts from TrueTech performance partly because the owner (Jeff?) was so helpful on the phone during a 30 minute call. Everything was top quality, but not at the best price.

BTW - You can buy new ACDelco 5-pinion planetaries on Amazon.com (and sold directly by Amazon!) for $70 a piece. Go to Amazon and search for these ACDelco part numbers: 24241244 (Rear) and 24241248 (Front).

I don't know what Amazon's "fine print" is. But realistically no one is going to warranty such parts anyway - they will claim they were installed wrong or abused.

Yes Jeff was very helpful. Always answers emails and phone calls. He is going to help me figure what I did or or why my trans is stuck in low gear. Just waiting for a day off.

The prices for ACDelco part numbers: 24241244 (Rear) and 24241248 (Front) 5-pinion planetaries are not much higher than Amazons at gmpartsdirect.com (about $85 and $75). My local dealer often matches those prices when I show him a printout. So much for the belief that the ACDelco/GM 5-pinion planetaries are super expensive. Perhaps GM has a huge stock and is unloading them.

Are the 5 pin parts a drop in?
