Default Rossler customers come inside....

I have been dealing with Carl Rossler about a project I'm working on. I was referred to Rossler by my cantact at Lingenfelter. Rossler builds all of Lingenfilter's trannys. Anyway, I shipped my tranny to Rossler to get it built for the project I'm working on. Then when we got down to what he was going to do, I asked him if he "Cryogenically" treats his internal parts or if he "Micro Polisheses" them. He said niether. He just replaces the weak parts with aftermarker stronger ones. Well that worries me, because every tranny shop in the COUNTRY I have spoken with either micro polisheses or cryogenically treats their performance parts.
What do you guys think...?

Carl has built several trans for me - NO FAILURES. I believe he is even the first to develop a transbrake for the 4L60E in the Vette. I wouldn't go anywere else.

My brother and my best firend both had work done by him. Both were pleased and the trannys worked very well. He is knowledgable and has been working on only performance stuff for a long time. His shop has a sign that this isn't a regulat transmission shop. Seen his shop, seen his 6 sec nitro coupe. If i had an auto he is the one I'd call.

I appreciate that. I'm confident, I just needed a little reassurance. I have spoken with the owners a several tranny shops, and discussed what each of them did to make their trannys special. One common thing was that they all used cryogenics with there automatics. And after talking to Carl Rossler, he said he had no idea why the other shops did that. Then I got a pm about a customer that took his broken Rossler to another shop to get checked out, only to find a tranny full of stock GM parts. That scared me as well.

Take that with a grain of salt. If you take someone elses broken product into a shop of course they're going to do/say anything to discredit the original product maker in order to gain confidence with a new potential customer

I've had my Rossler in for 800+ miles and it truly feels like a race trans compared to my old trans. I love it. I took it to the track and got one pass on it without any problems. Shifts like a dream with 445 hp behind it.
