Tick performance Has anyone had any problem with this company? I sent in my transmission to get rebuilt and now they are saying they don't have any 2nd or reverse gears in stock. Not only that but they are charging extra for the "RARE" 2nd gear. The website says they have both in stock. Now I am just sitting here waiting for them to "find" those gears and put my tranny back together.

Thanks. I read about them online here. Just frustrating to see the site says one thing and they say another. My car hydrolocked in Nov during a street flooding. So i choose to do everything at once. engine, heads, cam, clutch, suspension, and tranny. Tranny is the one hold up, my engine is almost done being built. I miss my Camaro.
I think I offered them my first born if they'd ship me a 2nd gear. Needless to say I don't need to worry about finding a baby momma anytime soon. Tick will get you sorted out, it may take time but they seem to be a stand up company. There are some aftermarket 2nd gears that should be hitting the streets more frequently so I hope that resolves our issues.

I really hope the aftermarket steps up and starts producing more quality t56 parts soon. For the last few years there has always been something backordered and unavailable from Tremec and leaves builders scrambling, distributors hoarding parts, and prices skyrocketing. LS input shafts go MIA for several months every year it seems. You wouldn't believe how much I had to pay for triple cone blockers this past fall......these transmissions are going to become cost prohibitive to rebuild very soon if nothing changes.

The TR-6060 will be the only trans you can get parts for before long...
To the OP, I'm very sorry about the delay, but as soon as we get your parts in I promise you that your transmission will be one of our top priorities to finish and get sent back to you as fast as we can.
I'm just about to deem Tremec as the bigger "idiots" of the automotive world. Ok, parts are in demand and a lot gets back ordered. I get that. How long has this been going on? I put questionable parts back in my POS because of their lack of foresight on production. Sounds like a lot of mismanagement if you ask me.

Soooooo true. Couldn't of said it better myself. We experience these back orders all the time and it's Tremec's back orders that kill us in these situations.

But, again thank you. I really look forward to finishing my build.

I don't like em either. But from a business perspective the reality is this.....the t56 hasn't been offered in a new vehicle for 8 years now (more than a decade for single/double cone units like fbody versions) since being replaced by the tr6060, and in the grand scheme of things were a fairly low production volume trans compared to say a t5 which came in tons and tons of vehicles. Prices for rebuildable cores have more than doubled in the last 4 years as they become more scarce. I see the parts supply getting smaller and smaller going forward, unless someone in the aftermarket that has the resources/desire to support such a niche market steps up and starts making stuff.
We haven't been able to build a Level 3 "Viper spec" trans in almost 5 months due to the availability of 30 spline output shafts.
It's getting to be ridiculous. We understand that the price of a Magnum is out of reach for some of you guys, but it really is the best way to go with the future outlook on T56 parts availability.
Charlie, I'll make sure to let the web guys know about the 2nd gear and reverse gears.

a lot of people want and still need. Their replacement parts sales would go through the roof if they would just do a run on everything in a T56. Of course somebody on the inside is saying not worth it. Sadly this is the truth and it is a truth that all transmission shops like us will have to face very soon, if they aren't already facing it.

If the Magnum came down a few hundred bucks it would make it much more tempting. Once my rebuild is done, I'm just going to run it till it blows again and then swap it with a magnum. Hopefully that is many years and a whole lot of miles down the road.

I get what you're saying on newer transmissions. Just better all the way around. But, Tremec has the tooling to make the parts, right now, that a lot of people want and still need. Their replacement parts sales would go through the roof if they would just do a run on everything in a T56. Of course somebody on the inside is saying not worth it.
