In PM's a day or so ago I gave you a solution to try and fix the problem, you stated you could not send the center section back at this time because your other vehicle is down. We can't fix or replace the item with out seeing what may be wrong. At this point it is up in the air what might have been wrong at first because you had someone else go through it instead of contacting us.

I guess if the rear specs perfect i will just have to find a better set of gears because richmonds cant get the job done!! which will just cost me more money then i already spent!

Yes like stated to you when purchasing, Richmond Gear, aluminum center section, and a short arm with all solid mounts will be louder than normal.

Excessive noise to one person might not be as bad to the next person, the only way for us to find out if there was an issue is to look at the gear pattern from the way we sent out your center section to you as assembled by us.

We are willing to help you out the best we can but it is difficult to figure out what might be wrong since someone else has gone back through it before us.

i understand all that!! but i dont have time to take rear apart again and have car down again for month or 2! the noise is not normal, if it was all my buddies would have the same problem! i am a tech and the guy who check it out builds nascar rears for a machine shop so he would know what he is talking about. the gear set has to be bad and i am just mad that i spent all that time and money on car to have more problems!

if you had a "nascar" guy go through it and nothing changed then maybe you need to go through the warranty process with us to get your gear replaced. maybe you should try to call us and let us know what you have going on instead of just a LS1Tech thread... your chances of getting this resolved sooner than later are much greater. We can't get anything done to your rearend over the internet.

I can see as a consumer how you can be mad. The part that bothers me is the bashing over the internet in a public forum. Its kind of like beating your wife in public. Its just not a cool thing to do. Not saying that I beat my wife at home. Just saying I dont know the whole situation but from what I have read here it looks like he has tried to help. I understand that you dont want to have a car down for a while. But its out of his hands and yours. Its one of those **** happens things. And as far as the nascar guy saying its bad you cant expect Eric to just drop everything and warrenty it just because joe blow said it was bad. He has tried to help. None of my business just my two cents

Internet bashing? I was standing there when AJ made the call the first day he drove the car to work right after installing the rear that weekend to get it on the alignment rack and set the rear alignment.

There was little attempt to even try and asses how bad the noise was over the phone. The dismissive response of its normal with an aluminum center section is pretty poor really.

If the aluminum center section theory was true, imagine how loud all these transmissions would be with aluminum housings. Or if that doesn't work for you, how about Corvette rears since the entire housing is made of aluminum.

While my midwest rear is not the aluminum center section, it is the short torque arm and is dead quite with all solid control arms ect...

A friend of ours has a midwest rear with the aluminum center section and its dead quite.

Look im not saying there is not something wrong. I believe you as I stated before. And I also said I dont know both sides of the storie. All I said really is that this does not need to be on a public forum. Email the man if its a paper trail your after. Just dont do it in a public forum. Normally doesnt make anything better. It just normally pisses off the owner of the company and then it is twice as hard to get anything done.

not to drag this on, but if you were about to drop 3500 dollars on anything with a vendor, wouldn't you like to know about the good and bad about that vendor? I think more people need to post their experience with a vendor good and bad.

not gettin in the middle of this. but mwc is hands down the most professional company i have ever dealt with. spend 2 hours on the phone with them figuring out what i want and what it was gonna cost. after i ordered, they pm'd me a list of everything i ordered and it ended up bein less than what we figured on the phone. they went thru AGAIN and got back with me with a few changes they recommended for me which saved even more money. they saved me almost $200 AFTER my order was complete

I just spent well over 3500 with this man. I dont have his product yet. Once you have figured out if he is going to fix it or not and you are done dealing with him thats when you go public. We just have to agree to disagree. My rear end and suspension should be done any day now. Just waiting on a phone call to say its done. And I agree that it needs to be known that he has a problem with a product and it should be brought to attention of others. But like I said not before you are done dealing with dealer. Im glad your happy with yours. I hope mine is well also. There will also be 3 mwc rears under f body cars in my town. we all ordered at the same time. In a town with a population on 2500. I will let you know how they turn out.

So after install it was loud on the first drive and that was to his work?

Again we are trying to help the best we can on what you feel is a problem. I have asked you to send in the center section but you stated you can not do so right now. I told you to send it in ASAP so we can help you out. I am also the one that talked to you on the phone and I did discuss with you how loud you thought it was so I could get an idea. On the phone I asked what we can do to help, we talked a little and I gave some options and that is were the conversation ended. You contacted me through PM's at a later time and I said to send us back the center section and we will go back through it and check it out.

I can not warranty an item with out checking it out ourself. Please PM me and let me know what you feel is a solution to the problem you feel you have so we can get this resolved.
