Jason at TDP is a good guy and very helpful. I dont know about there rebuilds, but I have there Diamond stg 2 clutch kit and absolutely love it. But dont hesitate to call Jason he will talk to you about whatever you need, and will go into great detail, very helpful.

I'm running his 32 spline triple cone conversion trans in my t/a. Jason is a great guy and his customer service is top notch.

When I got my trans the first time something was wrong with it. Not only did he quickly (as in like 30 sec) tell me he was sending me a shipping label so I could sent it back to make it right, he offered to send me ANOTHER transmission so that I could drive my car. Even though I declined his offer b/c I had another car and didn't want him to have to lose money on shipping me an extra transmission, the fact that he was willing to do that to make things right speaks wonders for his customer service. He got my trans, opened it up, fixed what was wrong, replaced some parts that got damaged, sent it back to me quickly, and didn't charge me 1 cent more.

You'd have to be an idiot to not seriously consider him for your builder. There are lots of good builders don't get me wrong, but I don't think you'll ever hear 1 bad thing about TDP.

Without a doubt TDP (Jason) is the most stand up company I have EVER dealt with. I called him numerous times with questions, concerns (nothing concerning his work), etc and he always got back to me or would take the time to talk and answer any questions I may have had. Both before and after my purchases, he doesnt want to just sell you something and then avoid you. Ive had his stage 2 transmission and diamond clutch kit and it has been outstanding.

He even went as far as to send me a new reverse lockout solenoid free of charge when I called him asking if a issue I was having was the solenoid. This was a used solenoid that just started acting up but he shipped me out the part (didnt even ask him to) and I got it the next day. Turned out it was a loose connector and not the solenoid at all.

Sorry for the long post but I challenge you to find a bad review or mishap with his company. I looked before doing buisness with him and could not find a single complaint. You wont be disappointed.

Nothing more I can add. Would do business with again.

I'm actually putting my transmission back in my car tomorrow morning, having just gotten it back from Jason tonight.

I was very pleased with the level of service I received, and I stayed connected with him through the entire process. He was very detailed in his explanation of what was wrong with my trans.

I'd recommend him for anyone getting a T-56 rebuild.

Now to get it back in my car.

No...but liberty does the faceplating for all the builders. If you went that route it would be no different.

TDP rebuilt my LT1 T-56 for my F1A build. Jason knows his stuff and will take the time to explain things to you. His prices are pretty reasonable as well. I definitely recommend him.

Just another good review for TDP. I personally had him build a LS1 Faceplated T56 with every upgrade you could do to it besides a pump. I never got to use it but call Eric at Lashway Motorsports and ask him how its workin out!
