OK, so everybody posts if they've had a bad time w/ a sponsor, but not everybody does when they've had a good experience, so I wanted to let people know that the folks at Tick Performance in Mooresville NC (a sponsor here) did a great job rebuilding my T56 (missing 2nd gear!) and my 4th 10 bolt ring an pinion.

They rec'd the car on a Tuesday and were done with it by lunch on Friday!

They did it quick and at a good price too - what else could anyone else want?

In other words, they rock!

 

mine getting rebuilt right now too... its exceeded my expectations on how good, quick, and helpful they were on the transmission rebuild.

 

Jonathan and Joey are good peeps!

They're doing a great job down there.

 

I described my situation to Joe over the phone (no 2nd gear) and he told me exactly what was broken - he knew because he had just done the same thing to HIS F-body one week earlier!

They put in some Mikronited 3:73s in my 10 bolt (yeah, I know - "Building a 10 bolt is like throwing money at a dead hooker; no matter how much $$$ you spend, she just can't get the job done.") and I'll be installing my STS kit in early August - on the week between Norwalk and Woodward - and trying to see if infact these gears are the holy grail to us in the F body community.

If they can handle the shock load of a 6k rpm 1-2 shift with a Kevlar clutch and a Squires kit, I'll be a happy man!

If not - 9 inch here I come!

 

Dood...I wish you the best with that rear axle. I hope it works for you.

Good to hear some positive feeback on a sponsor

 

All the guys over there ROCK A++ in my Book.

 

Thank you for the kind words guys! Mike, I'm very glad we met all of your expectations and I can't wait to see how that thing runs when you install the STS kit.

 

Im looking to get a viper conversion and full performance rebuild on my T56, which one would you guys recommend quality/pricing wise? sixspeedsinc. or TICK?

 

Joe -

I'm taking it to the local 1/8 mile track this evening (Piedmount) to see how those 3:73s react to my MT drag radials and a 2500 to 3500 RPM clutch dump!

My best 60 foot time (with the 4:10s) was 2.00 seconds - but it never really hooked; hopefully with the line locks I can preload the driveline a little and break into the 1.9X's!

I'll let you know...


BTW - Is your car (the one with the stripped 2nd gear) the one in your sig? (Sweet!)
